Overview
Eligible undergraduate students at the College of the Marshall Islands, including citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, can apply for need-based Federal Pell Grant aid for the 2026–27 award year.
Complete grant details
The College of the Marshall Islands participates in the U.S. Federal Pell Grant program and directs students to complete the FAFSA and the College financial-aid process. The U.S. Department of Education confirms a maximum scheduled Pell Grant award of USD 7,395 for the 2026–27 award year, with the actual amount depending on federal eligibility rules and enrollment intensity. CMI processes aid on a rolling basis and publishes recurring spring priority dates of October 31 for continuing/returning students and November 30 for new, readmitted or transfer students; because the College page states these as recurring dates rather than a year-specific single closing date, no top-level deadline is asserted.
Eligibility requirements
CMI states that Pell is generally for undergraduate students with financial need who have not earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Students must meet federal and CMI financial-aid requirements, be accepted or enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate programme, and maintain applicable academic progress. Citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands are eligible under the College’s federal-aid rules.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified on the current CMI Pell Grant, Financial Aid and Applying for Aid pages. The current USD 7,395 maximum for the 2026–27 award year was cross-checked with U.S. Federal Student Aid. Older year-specific deadline text on the CMI Pell page was not reused as a current deadline.
