Year Round Pell Grant

Beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year, students are eligible for up to two scheduled awards (200%) per year of Pell Grants. For the Summer 2010, Richmond Community College has chosen to pay Pell Grant out of the 2009-2010 year. For this period, no consideration will be given to 2010-2011 student eligibility and students will not be required to meet the academic progression requirements of the 2010-2011 rules.

The Summer 2011 will be considered a "cross-over" payment period and Pell grant will be paid out of the 2010-2011 or 2011-2012 year, whichever award year provides the student with the most Pell grant eligibility. Students must meet the applicable academic progression requirements for a 2010-2011 award or they may be eligible for a first scheduled award from the 2011-2012 year.

For the summer terms in all subsequent years after 2011, the rules applied in the summer 2011 will be applied using the correct aid years as determined by federal regulations.
