Pell Grant - Costs For Which The Grant Can Be Used

Costs For Which The Grant Can Be Used

Typically, the college first applies the grant or loan money toward a student's tuition, fees, and (if the student lives on campus) room and board. Any money left over is paid to the student for other expenses. The student might be able to choose whether the leftover money comes in the form of a check, cash, a credit to a bank account, or another method.
