Workforce Pell Program Screener
Enter a program's state, CIP code, and duration. We check the federal duration window, report what your state has published, map your CIP against eligible occupations, and show the selection criteria your state applies — every claim linked to its source. This screener documents; it does not decide.
Screening is the first step, not the last
Passing the screen means your program is worth a closer look — it does not mean approval. A Readiness Review runs your whole catalog against your state's actual gates, program by program, within a week — before your state's next window.

Scope of this tool. This screener is an informational research tool, not a determination of eligibility. Results reflect federal rules for the 2026–27 award year and state publications as of the “last verified” date shown in each block. It does not evaluate all federal requirements (completion and job placement rates, earnings outcomes, and accreditation conditions also apply), does not predict state approval, and is not legal, financial aid, or compliance advice. Eligibility is determined solely by your state’s designated agency and the U.S. Department of Education. Verify every finding against the linked primary sources before acting on it.
