The university administers a variety of state and federal grants, which are determined by financial need. These awards do not need to be repaid. To apply, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Upon submission, you will be automatically considered for most types of aid. Note, you must file a new FAFSA every year.
The Federal Pell Grant program gives a base of aid to which all other types of aid are added. Pell Grants are based on financial need and are prorated according to your enrollment status. 100% of the award can be as high as 6,495. Year-round Pell will be available to eligible students. This allows eligible students to receive up to 150 percent of a regular Federal Pell Grant Award over the course of the academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer). To be eligible to receive the additional Pell Grant funds, the student must be otherwise eligible to receive Pell Grant funds for the payment period and must be enrolled at least half-time.
FSEOG is for students who have a large financial need. The college has a limited amount of these funds and distributes them on a first-come, first-serve basis. You must be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant Program to receive a FSEOG.
