What are Pell Grants?
Learn about the Federal Pell Grant, including what it is, how to apply, who is eligible, and whether you need to pay them back with Discover Student Loans.
Start your search for grants and scholarships to reduce the amount you may need to borrow.
File your taxes early and complete your FAFSA® online to improve your chances for receiving more financial aid. Double-check your SAR and make any updates to your FAFSA, if needed. Also be sure to check with your school for additional requirements, and start reviewing your financial award letters.
Begin to compare your financial aid packages and determine if you still need to borrow. Research and apply for private student loans, and look for a part-time summer job to help pay for college.
FAFSA is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department of Education.
