Financial Aid FAQs

Why is my Pell Grant different than last year?


The Pell Grant amount is determined every year. It may change based on your StudentAidIndex(SAI) and how many Program Applicable credits you’re taking.

To learn more about the qualifications, visit the Pell Grant Overview page.

If you have any questions, contact the Financial Aid Office by calling (208) 496-1411, emailing financialaid@byui.edu, or visiting them in person in Kimball 196.
