What is a grant?
A grant is money given to students that does not have to be repaid. In order to be considered for grant money awarded by the federal government, you need to complete the FAFSA application each year. If you are interested in finding out more information about the FAFSA, such as how to apply and deadlines, please view the Applications and Deadlines page.
Federal Grants
Federal Pell Grant
The foundation of Federal Student Aid, awarded to eligible undergraduate students working toward their first bachelors degree. Student’s eligibility is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as it was calculated from information provided on the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students with lower EFCs have greater financial need. Thus, the neediest students are eligible for larger Federal Pell Grants. Conversely, as students’ EFCs increase, there is less financial need, and the award amount of the Federal Pell Grant decreases. The amount of the Federal Pell Grant may be prorated based on a students’ enrollment status (full-time, part-time, full academic year attendance or less). Unlike many other types of aid, students who are enrolled less than half-time may be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant. The maximum Federal Pell Grant award amount is $5,550 and the minimum award amount is $277.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This campus based award program is awarded to students with exceptional financial need. Priority is given to those students with a Federal Pell Grant. Unlike Federal Pell Grants, the amount of FSEOG that a student can receive depends not only on their financial need but, also, on the amount of other aid they receive and the availability of funds at the institution. FSEOG award amounts can range from $100 to $4,000.
Federal TEACH Grant
The Federal TEACH Grant provides up to $4,000 a year to students that are planning on teaching in particular high-need fields. In order for a student to receive this grant, they must agree to complete a service obligation by teaching in one of these fields and at a school that serves low-income students. If the teaching obligation is not completed, then the grant will convert to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan with interest charged from the date the original grant was received.
To qualify for this grant, you must:
