When an OHP-OPU adult is attending an institution of higher education full-time, they are not eligible for OHP unless the requirements of one of the following are met:
Higher education institutions include all public and private universities, colleges and community colleges. Also included are all post-secondary vocational or technical schools that are eligible to accept Pell grants.
ABE, ESL, GED and high school equivalency programs are not considered higher education.
Full-time attendance is defined by the school.
Meets the income requirements for a Pell grant means:
After financial eligibility is determined, the student is sent an award letter, the Student Aid Report (SAR), which lists the EFC and states whether or not the student is eligible for the Pell grant. All higher education students must either provide a copy of their SAR or, for undergraduates, a financial aid award letter from their school to verify they meet the OHP Pell grant requirement.
A student’s enrollment status continues during school vacation and breaks. It ends when the student graduates, drops out, reduces the student's credit or attendance hours, is suspended or expelled, or does not intend to register for the next school quarter (excluding summer quarter).
