Federal Aid ▾

  • Federal Pell Grant

Generally, Pell Grant awards are given to undergraduate students pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree. The amount of money you are awarded will depend on your Student Aid Index (SAI), cost of attendance, whether you are a full-time or part-time student and whether you attend school for a full academic year or less.

  • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program

  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

  • Federal Work Study (FWS)
    • Is a program designed for students enrolled at full-time  and who demonstrate financial need.
