Connecticut Pell Grant

• The Connecticut Pell Grant is used for attending college. You can use this grant at any college in Connecticut as long as they participate in the Federal Student Aid Program if your school has a 6-digit federal school code. You will be able to know if you are eligible for the Pell Grant by your EFC. If your EFC is lower than $6206, then you are eligible.
