Federal Pell Grant. The Federal Pell Grant is the largest federal student aid gift assistance program available to undergraduates pursuing a first undergraduate degree. Students enrolled less than half-time may be considered for a Pell Grant. Awards can range from $598-$5,815 for the 2016-2017 academic year.
The increase in federal spending on grants was driven by large increases (all in constant dollars) in the Pell Grant program for low-income students and in aid for military veterans. Total spending on the Pell Grant rose 58 percent, from $17.9-billion to $28.2-billion between 2008-9 and 2009-10. That jump was driven by a 16-percent increase in the maximum Pell Grant, the largest one-year increase in its history.
