Information About Grants

What is a grant?

A grant is a type of financial aid that typically does not need repaid unless you are awarded funds incorrectly or you withdraw from school prior to the end of the term. Grants are generally offered to students with exceptional financial need as determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Some grants are also limited and have priority application deadlines to qualify.
