Federal Grants

Federal Pell Grant
A Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid since it is a need-based federal grant. Students may apply for the Pell Grant by completing the Application for Federal Student Aid, which is available online (www.fafsa.ed.gov), in the financial aid office, or from the distant learning center financial aid assistant. The number of course hours is a part of the formula for figuring this grant as well as the student’s total family income. Additional verification requirements may be requested by the financial aid office.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG is a need-based federal grant program designed to aid students with financial needs beyond Pell Grant stipends. Contact the Financial Aid Office for eligibility requirements and the application process.

Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP)
LEAP is a need-based state grant program designed to provide educational assistance to residents of Georgia who demonstrate substantial financial need to attend eligible postsecondary institutions in Georgia.

Loan Information

Educational loans are an investment in one’s self for the future. Did you know that a college graduate is projected to earn a minimum of a million dollars above what a person without an education will earn? Potential earnings are certainly an incentive, but even more powerful is the ability to be able to CHOOSE what career path you will utilize to earn a living for yourself. Becoming an educated person puts you in the position of making the choice.
