About Pellwyn

Pellwyn is a small website built around one idea: if a family can see the whole aid year on a single wall, fewer dates slip by.

We write and maintain a month-by-month aid calendar, a set of longer guides on the FAFSA, Pell Grants and college aid offers, and a list of key terms. Everything is written for students and the adults helping them, not for campus offices. Our entries describe how the aid year usually unfolds and point to the places where official dates are posted. We never present a date we made up as a deadline.

What we do

  • Keep the aid calendar current as the federal form, state agencies and colleges announce their timing.
  • Explain the steps behind each season in guides with worked examples, tables and short checklists.
  • Send optional reminder texts that point back to calendar entries, only to people who tick the box on the get-started form.

What we are not

Pellwyn is not a school, a college or an aid office, and it is not connected to the federal student aid office or any state agency. We cannot file a FAFSA, see your records, award a grant or change an offer. We do not offer loans. When a question needs an official answer, we will tell you who can give it.

How we check the calendar

Before each season we reread the federal announcements on studentaid.gov and a sample of state and college aid pages, then update the calendar wording. If the timing of a season shifts, as the opening of the FAFSA did in recent years, we change the entry and the reminder that goes with it. If you spot something out of date, email support@pellwyn.com and we will look at it.

How Pellwyn is funded

The Nelson M Group LLC keeps Pellwyn running and covers its costs as one strand of the company's wider work. Nobody is charged to read the calendar or the guides, and we never sell the personal details readers give us.
