Question

Do you know of a post baccalaureate certificate program that qualifies for FAFSA funding, not loans, but the actual pell grant?

Answer 1

Post baccalaureate certificates are often considered to be a 5th year undergraduate program, so you should be able to receive a Pell grant for it at most schools, assuming you qualify for one. Whether you qualify or not depends on the information that you submit on the FAFSA. However, Pell grants have a lifetime eligibility limit of 12 full time semesters. Many students who have been receiving grants throughout their undergrad years are at, or near, the limit when they get to the post baccalaureate stage. Contact your financial aid department for information about where you stand.
