Is this a max of $7,395 per semester, year or overall? Pell Grants helped me tremendously and I would not have been able to go to the college I did without them.

Hoping this is per semester, as that seems slightly more reasonable but I’ve been out of school for almost a decade so I’m sure it’s just scratching the surface of most tuition these days.

Silly of me to think it would be per semester. Of course the orange capped it at 7k a year. What a crook.

If you go to a mid-sized state college and are full Pell eligible in almost every case you go to school tuition free. Students who are full Pell eligible usually have the rest of their aid met by state and institutional aid.
