Federal/State grants
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form used to determine a student's eligibility for:
- Federal Pell Grants
- Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants
- Most state grants
You should request that information
from your FAFSA be sent to RISD, by listing RISD's Federal Code (003409) on
your FAFSA.
The Federal Pell Grant and most state grants are considered entitlement
grants that are based on financial need rather than merit.
