Increased Flexibility for Federal Grants for Students with Disabilities.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Students with disabilities approved for a reduced course load will be deemed full-time enrollment for the purpose of calculating Federal Pell Grant amounts. The change also applies to Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) and TEACH Grants, ensuring full financial support with a reduced course burden. The minimum course load considered 'full-time' is the approved reduced load or 5 credits, whichever is greater. The amendments are effective retroactively, as if included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.

This Act ensures that students with disabilities who have an approved reduced course load can receive the full amount of Federal Pell, FSEOG, and TEACH Grants. This means these students will be considered full-time for financial aid calculation purposes, even with fewer credits, increasing their financial support. The change makes it easier for individuals with disabilities to complete their education without losing crucial financial assistance.
