The Pell Grant is awarded only to undergraduate students with exceptional financial
need and have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree. (In some
cases, however, a student enrolled in a post baccalaureate teacher certification program
might receive a Federal Pell Grant.) A Federal Pell Grand, unlike a loan, does not
have to be repaid, except under certain circumstances.
