Can having type 1 diabetes affect my ability to get a pell grant?

by Diabetes Coach on February 6, 2010

I just got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes over the summer. in all my family makes around 40,000 a year with us being a family of four. But now that we have new extra bills such as test strips and medication we are worried about college. i was wondering if pell grants consider medical conditions when evaluating.

If your financial aid package does not turn out the way you had hoped, explain your situation to the college you plan on attending to see if they can find another way to help you. Typically, college financial aid counselors are more forgiving than a government form. Good luck with your financial aid!
