Pell Grant for Credential Students
Only students pursuing their initial credential (not a clear or professional credential) may receive the Pell Grant. Credential students must be enrolled in at least six units and not concurrently admitted to a Master’s degree program in order to receive the Pell Grant. For Credential students, only courses required as part of the eligible initial Credential program will count toward your enrollment status in determining the amount of your Pell Grant each semester. The School of Education determines which courses are required for each eligible initial Credential program. This determination is made after the add/drop period each semester, therefore disbursement of the Pell grant to Credential students will be delayed until approximately four weeks after the first day of classes.
