  1. College Grants

  2. What are College Grants • College Grants are provided to a variety of individuals so that lack of money doesn’t stop them from pursuing education. • These also help displaced workers who need to get retrained in order to re-join the workforce and students enrolled in a post baccalaureate teaching certificate program.

  3. Requirements to Receive Funding • The basic requirement for this is that a person wishing to apply needs to prove their financial need. • A great aspect about this kind of funding is that there is no obligation on part of the person receiving it to repay it. • Also, applicants don’t need to have a great credit to get these grants and there are no application fees.

  4. Funding at the State and Local Level • Funding for education is also available at the State level. Many states have minority funded grants, low income and disadvantage student grants and grants for students pursuing a high demand field such as medical or education. • You need to check with various schools about the opportunities they have. A school’s financial air office usually has this information and can provide detailed information to a candidate regarding the same.

  5. Types of Education Grants There are various types of grants that are awarded for a specific purpose. A description of these grants follows in the slides ahead.

  8. Academic Competitiveness Grant • This supplemental grant is awarded to first and second year students who demonstrate academic merit and were also awarded a Federal Pell Grant. • Students can get $750 for their first year of study and another $1,300 for their second year.
