Year-Round Pell Begins July 1

Pell Grants for low-income college students can now be used for summer studies.

The U.S. Education Department announced Monday that year-round Pell Grants will be available starting July 1, allowing students to take summer classes and graduate sooner.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says the decision “is about empowering students and giving them the flexibility and support needed to achieve their goals.”
