Don’t Miss Out on Federal Pell Grants
Millions of undergraduate students receive Federal Pell Grants every year to help pay for college, career school, or trade school. But many people miss out because they don’t think they’re eligible or don’t know how to apply. Don’t let this be you! Read on to learn what you need to know.
What is a Federal Pell Grant?
A Federal Pell Grant is a type of grant that provides funds to help pay for school. Pell Grants are typically awarded to undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need. Unlike federal student loans, Pell Grants don’t have to be paid back except under certain circumstances.

Second Chance Program
Restart your education. Rewrite your success story. The Second Chance Program at BMCC gives students with low GPAs an opportunity to explain their academic history and request special admission.
- Are you thinking about transferring, but your previous GPA is not a 2.0?
- Perhaps your first college experience didn’t show your true capabilities?
- Maybe your first school wasn’t a good fit?
- Maybe you were too young to take it seriously?
- Maybe you had some family or personal matters that needed to take priority?
Maybe now is the right time for a second chance—BMCC believes in second chances.
