What Does the Grant Cover?
The award helps provide funding to cover resident tuition, differentials, and fees after other aid is evaluated up to $2,000 per semester. This award may not cover full tuition, tuition differentials, or fee charges and recipients may still have a balance due after all eligible and available funding is awarded. Your award amount may be less than $2,000 for a term if you have other awards covering a portion of eligible charges. Due to limited funding, there is no guarantee a recipient will receive this award every year.
Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.
