The federal government has a variety of grants, loans and work-study programs to help you pay for continuing education and training. The President announced in May that he encourages unemployed Americans to consider education and training opportunities during this period of economic hardship. In particular, the President highlighted the availability of federal student aid, including the Federal Pell Grant. If you are currently unemployed, you may be eligible for federal financial aid, including a Federal Pell Grant. The maximum Federal Pell Grant award for the 2009-10 academic year is $5,350.
