You never have to pay for help managing your federal student loans or applying for loan discharge. If a company asks for an upfront or monthly fee, it's a scam. Learn how to spot and report scams at StudentAid.gov/scams 🛑💸

More ways to learn. More ways to be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. If you’re enrolled in an eligible workforce program, you might be able to receive a Federal Pell Grant.
Federal Pell Grants for Eligible Workforce Programs

Log in to StudentAid.gov with your username and password, then navigate to "My Grants" to view your Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used.
