Pell grant

A type of grant in financial aid that helps under¬ graduate students meet the expenses of attending college. The amounts of grants depend on the program funding, but they ranged up to $2,200 in 1988-89, the money being paid either directly to the student or credited to the school account. Pell Grant recipients have priority in receiving Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. As one of the conditions of receiving a Pell Grant, a student must sign a statement certifying that he or she will not make, distribute, dispense, possess, or use drugs during the period covered by the grant, and the grant may be suspended or terminated by a court if the student is convicted of possessing or distributing drugs.
