La Sierra University Code: 001215

A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed to receive federal grants

Federal Pell Grant

Federal Pell Grants are awarded only to eligible undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. Awards are based on the cost of attendance, SAI (Student Aid Index) as determined by the FAFSA, and enrollment status (full-time, etc.).

* If you take less than 6 hours your Pell award will vary.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

A FSEOG is a grant from the federal government for eligible undergraduate, degree-seeking students with exceptional financial need. Priority is given to students who receive Federal Pell Grant and meet La Sierra University's priority deadline. A FSEOG does not have to be paid back. Students at each school are awarded based on the availability of funds at that particular school. There is no guarantee that every eligible student will be able to receive a FSEOG.

Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant

The TEACH grant program provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to eligible students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching, who agree to teach for four years at an elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency that serves students from low-income families and to meet other requirements. The terms and conditions of this teaching service obligation are explained in the TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve that you must sign before you receive a TEACH Grant. IMPORTANT: If you do not complete your service obligation, all TEACH Grant funds you received will be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Education, with interest charged from the date the TEACH Grant was disbursed (paid out).
