What is Grant Aid?
|
|
Grant aid is money that Student Support Services can award to a student. It is a little like a scholarship in that there are requirements you have to fulfill to get it, and a little like a Pell, in that everyone who completes those requirements can receive it.
There are three sets of requirements. Some are required by the government, some by us at SSS, and some are just verification processes so we know that everything got done right.
