Pell Grant eligibility when transfering to another program?

Question

I been in this major for 3 pell payments. Now I wish to transfer to another school/different major program for 4 years instead of 2.....

Will I lose my pell grant if I transfer out of the school since the pell grant was only awarded for the 2 year program.

I will start all over again so thats why I am wondering if I will lose this grant...most credits won't transfer.

Answer 1

The Pell grant is a federal grant so it will transfer with you to any college or university that is eligible to receive federal funds.  You can take it with you.  Go to http://fafsa.ed.gov website and click on the text that says "Add a school code" this will allow you to transfer your Pell from  your old school to the new one.

EDIT:

Satsifactory progress is based on the program you are currently in.  So no, it won't run out if you are in a 4 year program as long as you haven't attempted (from all your schools) more than 150% of the hours required to earn that degree.  Four year degree is usually maxed out at 180 hours or so.

So you prob won't have too many hours now... but MIGHT towards the end of your 4 year program, depending on how long you've been going to college and if you've dropped any classes.
