After you enter your tuition, we'll ask if you had any Pell Grants or other scholarships.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nFor example, if you enter $5,000 in tuition and a Pell Grant of $2,000, then the software will calculate $3,000 as your eligible tuition expenses.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nHowever, if the Pell Grant was used to pay room and board or other noneducational expenses, then it doesn't reduce tuition eligible for the education credits.\n\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\nThis rule only applies to Pell Grants. If you received student loans, do not reduce your eligible tuition by student loan amounts.",1777391591349]
