Federal Grants - UNT Dallas

Eligibility under the Special Rule does not need to be redetermined annually, certifying a student as eligible under the Special Rule allows the student to continue receiving a maximum Pell Grant award in subsequent award years.

Students who were eligible for and received Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant (IASG) funds or received Pell Grant funds based on IASG or Children of Fallen Heroes (CFH) eligibility criteria for prior award years but are not eligible for Pell Grant funds under the Special Rule are eligible to receive Pell Grant funds based on prior IASG or CFH eligibility criteria. Students remain eligible if they received at least one disbursement of Pell Grant or IASG funds based on their IASG or CFH eligibility during the prior award years and continue to meet the age requirement for the Special Rule. Students who receive a maximum Pell Grant based on legacy IASG or CFH guidance continue to be eligible if the student received at least one disbursement of funds based on the grandfathered eligibility in each subsequent award year. If there is a break in disbursement of one award year, then the student must qualify under the Special Rule in HEA Section 401(c).
