To be eligible to receive such a commitment, the student must be in grades 8 through 12 and a member of a household receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Pursuant to such a commitment, the student shall receive a Pell Grant during the first two academic years of attendance at an institution of higher education (IHE) as an undergraduate if the student

  • files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form for the award year in which the student will be in attendance at the IHE, and
  • enrolls at the IHE not later than one year after receiving a secondary school diploma or not later than three years after release from the Armed Forces.
