Am I eligible for a PHEAA grant?

To determine eligibility for a PHEAA grant, several factors are taken into consideration. Firstly, you must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen. Secondly, you must be a Pennsylvania resident and attend an approved postsecondary institution within the state. Another key requirement is enrollment in a program that leads to a degree or certificate. Additionally, you need to be enrolled at least half-time, which is typically six credits for undergraduate students. Moreover, adherence to satisfactory academic progress guidelines is essential to maintain eligibility. Financial need is also evaluated based on the information provided in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Each grant program may have specific criteria, so it is crucial to review the particular grant you are interested in. It is advisable to regularly check PHEAA's website for updates and changes in eligibility requirements.
