Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to announce the availability of Volume 7 of the 2026–27 Federal Student Aid Handbook.
Volume 7: The Federal Pell Grant Program provides information to assist schools in determining student eligibility for and calculating Federal Pell Grants.
The Federal Student Aid Handbook consists of the Application and Verification Guide, nine numbered volumes, and appendices. We publish the Federal Student Aid Handbook digitally on the Knowledge Center. Each time we publish a volume, appendix, or errata, we will inform the community through a Training Announcement (Dear Colleague Letter type “ANN”) on the Knowledge Center.
You can send questions and suggestions about the Federal Student Aid Handbook using the Customer Support form in the FSA Partner Connect Help Center. To submit a question, please complete the form and select “FSA Handbook” as the topic.
Sincerely,
Federal Student Aid
