Year Round Pell

Students may be eligible for additional Pell Grant funding for summer even if they used 100% of their yearly Pell Grant in the fall and spring as full-time students.

To be eligible for the additional Pell Grant, you must:

  • be enrolled at least 6 credit hours for the summer term
  • be making satisfactory academic progress
  • be eligible for a Pell Grant according to federal guidelines at your enrollment level


If you are enrolled for less than 6 credit hours for summer, you will only be eligible for a Pell Grant if you did not use 100% of your Pell Grant during the fall and spring terms.

Students who graduate from EICC before the summer semester will not be eligible for a summer Pell Grant.
