Actually yes you can. The Pell grant check is forwarded to you college of choice, however, if there is any money left over after tuition and a trip to the book store the rest of the money is sent to you in a check. This only happens if you are living outside of the school and they deem that you need the extra support for supplies and transportaion. I have had a pell grant before and have had enough money to purchase a vehicle for travel to and from college. However it does take some time to get the check to get to you. So at first you may need to use public transportation or rides from friends/family members until you receive the check.

How can you use a federal Pell Grant?

The majority of students use their Pell Grants for financial aid, such as Stafford or A+ loans, as well as private loans. Pell Grants can also be used to buy anything you need for schooling: a computer, books, supplies, lab/student fees and possibly student housing. The allotment is only given once per semester and in one lump sum. Many schools receive Pell Grants first and take out unresolved fees and give you the remainder of the funds. A student then may use the funds in how they see fit, but it is only legal to spend it for school-related stuff, not personal or as a personal income (to live off of). Many kids just buy their more expensive products, such as books, computers or other equipment that may cost a lot of money and then send the rest for tuition, whether loan or other financial aid programs. Discuss with your financial aid counselor how to best use your Pell Grant.

The federal government does not give housing grants directly to individuals. ...
