FEDERAL GRANTS
 

Federal Pell Grant

For undergraduate students, first baccalaureate degree only. Eligibility is based on federal methodology. The amount of the 2012-2013 award ranges from $555 to $5,550, subject to Congressional appropriations, and will be reduced for students who enroll for less than full time. If your award letter shows an "estimated" Pell Grant, it means your final official ISIR has not been received.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

For undergraduate students, first baccalaureate degree only. Eligibility is based on the federal methodology using information you and your parent(s) provided on the FAFSA. Priority is given to students who are full Pell-eligible and who meet priority filing deadlines. SEOG funds may be used to fund University scholarships and grants to eligible students.

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

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program provides grants of up to $4000 per year to student who intend to teach in a high-need field at a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families.

In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students.  As a recipient of a TEACH Grant, you must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant.  IMPORTANT: If you fail to complete this service obligation, all amounts of TEACH Grants that you received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan.  You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Eduation (ED).  You will be charged interest from the day the grant was disbursed.
