The Truth:
According to the U.S. Department of Education, Pell Grants are available to "low-income undergraduate and certain postbaccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education." It is a needs-based grant that takes factors into account such as the student's financial status, whether independent or dependent on family, the size of family, the cost of the schooling, and whether the student is full or part time. There is no requirement that the student be a U.S. citizen.
