About
Grants.
Federal grant programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
They include the Pell Grant and the Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG).
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is a need-based program that awards funds to undergraduate
students who have not yet earned a bachelor's degree. The maximum
amount awarded annually for the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 academic
years is $4,050. The minimum award for each year is $400. The grant
amount is based on your Expected
Family Contribution, your enrollment status, and your attendance
for the year. For these two years, students with EFC's of $3850
or less may be eligible for a Pell Grant.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The FSEOG is a grant for students with exceptional financial need.
In order to qualify, students must qualify for a Pell Grant. Unlike
Pell funding, which is guaranteed to students who meet the application
deadlines and other criteria, FSEOG funding is limited, and awards
are made as funds are available, with priority given to those students
with lowest EFCs who applied by the priority deadline.
Applying
For Grants.
Once
the Office of Student Financial Aid has received your FAFSA
results, we will determine your eligibility for financial
aid, including any federal grants. Your grant eligibility
(if any) will be listed on your award tab in Starport.
