<p>Hi. Is there a difference between these two? I read I can be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant as well but when I called my school’s financial aid office, they said most of the time the fin. aid IS the pell grant. That doesnt make sense. What’s true? thanks.</p>
<p>Your school is correct. The Pell grant is part of a financial aid package. Although it is a federal grant it is awarded and administered by the school.</p>
