Can I receive financial aid if I am attending college part-time?

Yes, you can still receive financial aid if you are attending college part-time. In order to be eligible for federal student aid, including grants and loans, you must be enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program. The specific requirements for part-time students may vary depending on the type of aid you are seeking. For example, to qualify for the Federal Pell Grant, you need to be enrolled at least half-time, whereas for federal loans, you may be eligible as long as you are enrolled at least part-time. However, it's important to note that your financial aid award amount may be adjusted based on your enrollment status. Additionally, some scholarships and state-based aid programs may have their own guidelines for part-time students.
