Summary
The U.S. government recognizes that the future rests in the hands of its youth, and education is key to nurturing responsible, contributing citizens. To support this, the federal government offers free grants for tertiary education to various schools and certified programs. These grants provide financial assistance to those aspiring for higher education but lacking the resources to fund it themselves.
Available Grants
Federal education grants are distributed to a wide array of institutions, including universities, community colleges, technical schools, small arts colleges, vocational programs, and trade schools. Annually, approximately $67 billion is allocated in the form of loans, grants, and campus-based aid. Educational institutions then distribute these grants to deserving students each semester, trimester, or quarter.
Key Grants
- Federal Pell Grant: This grant does not require repayment and is awarded based on financial need. While the maximum amount varies, it is determined annually by Congress.
- Campus-Based Aid Programs: These include the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal Perkins Loan programs. Managed by financial aid offices, these grants directly support students in need.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for these grants, students must meet certain criteria:
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen with a valid social security number.
- Possess a high school diploma, General Education Development (GED) certificate, or pass an 'ability to benefit' test.
- Enroll as a regular student in a qualifying program and apply for the grant.
- Male students aged 18 to 25 must register for selective service and meet criteria related to drug convictions.
By taking advantage of these grants, students can access higher education opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach, empowering them to contribute positively to society.
