Is there a lifetime amount of a Pell Grant I can receive?

The Pell Grant is not infinite. You can receive up to 600% of Pell Grant funds while earning your first bachelor’s degree. Each full-time semester counts as 50%, so by taking 12 or more credits per semester, you can receive Pell Grant for up to 12 semesters.
