Asked Questions

The maximum Federal Pell Grant award for the 2025–26 award year is $7,395, set by the U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid. Each student’s actual award depends on financial need, cost of attendance, and enrollment status, so most recipients receive less than the maximum.

The U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid publishes recipient and award data by institution, and recipient rates appear in the IPEDS Trend Generator. Clema queries that same official data in plain English, returning each answer with its source shown so you can verify it.

Undergraduates with exceptional financial need who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. Eligibility and award size are determined by the information a student reports on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
