GRANTS

These grants are awarded to meet financial eligibility as evidenced through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). They do not require repayment. You must file the FAFSA with the Federal Processor each year to be considered for grant programs. Since the grants are based in part on financial eligibility, awards may vary from year to year depending upon the economic situation of the family.
