| What Are The Eligibility Requirements to Take Part in Obama's Scholarships for Moms Program? |
It is a requirement to fill up and submit an FAFSA or Free Application for the Federal Student Aid form. On the internet, this is also named as 'Pell Grant Application' and it certifies that the Federal Pell Grant will be solely used only for the educational purposes. To check whether you are eligible for the Pell Grant, just follow the instructions on the website and answer the simple questions on the website.
The following facts may affect the grant money.
1. the amount of money that can contributed by the student's family.
2. the tuition fee applicable for the course enrolled and charged by the institute
3. whether the course enrolled is a part-time or full-time course.
The authorities in the financial aid office expect you to send various types of information, once they found that you are eligible for the grant. The money will be granted to you only after the completion of the verification procedures and if the information you provide is found to be accurate. Hence it is better to get clarifications for the difficulties or doubts regarding the information at the earliest, because any wrong information will affect the outcome.
The eligibility criteria for the Federal Pell grant are,
1. the FAFSA form, that binds you to use the grant money only
for the educational purposes.
2. you have enrolled to an approved course in order to obtain a bachelor's
degree and to receive the grant money
3. a valid social security number.
4. a high school diploma or GED
5. a US mother of over 18 years of age.
6. you should be able to convince the authorities about the benefits that the
course you have enrolled to offers.
7. Federal tax returns
8. W-2 information
9. Bank statements, total investments and mortgage information
10. business records
The time required to complete the verification procedures is not fixed and may take 2 months or sometimes, even longer. So, it is wise to apply for the Pell grant at least 10 weeks before the semester begins. Also, if you prove your Pell Grant eligibility there is no limit on how many times you can receive it.
