The Pell grant is not the same as the FAFSA. The FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid and it is what you fill out to find out if you are eligible for federal financial aid, including the Pell grant.
The interest rates on Pell grants are actually 0%, as they are considered need-based grants and do not accrue interest. Pell grants are awarded to undergraduate students based on financial need and do not need to be repaid, making them a valuable form of financial assistance for eligible students.
There are a lots of organizations that provide financial aids and grants for students like you. One of these is Federal Pell Grant. They will pay your tuition for you. All you have to do is be eligible for the grant.

The maximum amount that a person can receive in Pell grants over their lifetime is typically limited to 12 full-time semesters or equivalent. As of the 2020-2021 academic year, the maximum Pell grant award amount is $6,345. However, the specific amount can vary each year based on factors such as financial need and enrollment status.
Students with a total family income up to $50,000 may be eligible for Pell Grants, though most Pell funding goes to students with a total family income below $20,000.
