奖助金
奖助金 can be an important part of your financial aid package.
If you have filled out your Free Application for Federal Student 援助 (FAFSA>), you’ve automatically applied for the major federal grant programs. To receive a grant, you must have financial need as defined by the federal government. You also must meet the 资格 requirements for financial aid
There are two major types of federal grants:
- 佩尔助学金
- Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
Federal 佩尔助学金
The 佩尔助学金 program is the federal government’s largest student financial aid program. You can receive maximum of up to $5,775 each academic year, although the actual amount you’ll get depends on a number of factors. If you’ve already received a bachelor’s degree, you’re not eligible for a 佩尔助学金.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
佩尔助学金 recipients with exceptional financial need may qualify for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). Funding for the grant is limited, and priority is given to students with the lowest Expected Family Contribution (EFC). A typical grant is $400 for the academic year.
