One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3) - Full COA Scholarship and Grant Exclusion

edited Nov 7, 2025 7:12PM in Student Financial Aid

Provision Description:

The Full COA Scholarship and Grant Exclusion provision states students who receive grants or scholarships from non-federal sources covering their entire cost of attendance are ineligible to receive a Pell Grant, even if otherwise eligible for the program.

Configuration Update:

You can use the Fund Code priority to ensure scholarships do not exceed a Pell-eligible student's COA.  This involves updates to both the FUND_PRIORITY.csv and the NFR_ATTRIB.csv. 

  1. First you can update the FUND_PRIORITY.csv file to create new Fund Codes specifically for scholarships that should be limited by COA beginning with the 26/27 Award Year. 

Howdy, Stranger!
