Grants & Scholarships

Grants

A grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. The most common form is the Federal Pell Grant; it is awarded using FAFSA to determine eligibility and awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or a professional degree. Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and non federal sources might be added.

Other grants include:

• Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
• Academic Competitiveness Grant
• National SMART Grant
• TEACH Grant
• Institutional Grants
