College Grants

College grants provide tuition reduction (5% to 35%) to students in need of financial assistance. Grants are awarded for 10 consecutive semesters from the recipient’s initial entry to the college, unless otherwise specified.

In order to safeguard the integrity of the Financial Assistance Program, every year a random sample of the recipients will be asked to reapply. These recipients will be notified via email.

Recipients are obliged to inform the Financial Assistance and Planning Office of any substantial increase in their family/individual income that might alleviate the need for a need-based tuition reduction.
