Federal grants
Pell Grant (nonrepayable funds)
The Pell Grant is a need-based grant available to degree-seeking students who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Student eligibility is based upon the Estimated Family Contribution as calculated by the federal government from the FAFSA. Funds are available to full-time and three-quarter-time students and some less-than-half-time students.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (nonrepayable funds)
The SEOG program was established to assist in making the benefits of postsecondary education available to first-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students. Awards are based upon the remaining unmet need of Pell eligible students. Funds are available to full-time and three-quarter-time students on a very limited basis.
Academic Competitiveness Grant (nonrepayable funds)
The Academic Competitiveness Grant program assists in making the benefits of postsecondary education available to first-time, degree-seeking, full-time undergraduate students who are eligible to receive a federal Pell Grant. First- and second-year students who have recently graduated from a federally-defined rigorous high school program may qualify.
