The maximum conditional grant amount is up to $51,500 over two years for students in the Day Program and three years for students in the Extended Degree Program, and up to $25,750 for one year for students in the Advanced Standing Program.

Award amounts vary depending on the student’s financial need. The amount of the award is determined during the financial review stage of the application process and will be communicated to the student during the contract review stage before the student commits to the conditional grant.

The financial award is based on a student’s unmet financial need, which is calculated by the “last dollar-in” FAFSA calculation and student-tuition costs. (WASFA is also accepted for reviewed.) The unmet need is the student’s cost of attendance minus any scholarships and work study.

If a student cannot fulfill the conditional grant requirements, the full grant award must be repaid.
