federal, state, private and other sources. To apply for aid in any of
the grant programs, you must be a citizen of the United States or intend
to become a permanent resident or conditional permanent resident, or
be otherwise classified as in eligible non-citizen.
- Federal Pell Grant For undergraduate
students with exceptional need who have not already earned a bachelor's
degree. The award amount varies depending on estimated family contribution
(EFC) and enrollment status. Please note that award amounts
posted on Elroy are usually based on full-time enrollment status.
Your award may be less if you are enrolled in less than 12 hours
of coursework.
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) For
undergraduate students with exceptional need who have not earned
a bachelor's degree. If a student is eligible for the Pell Grant,
he or she may also be eligible for FSEOG. However, funding is very
