Grants and scholarships are free money options to help you pay for college. Unlike student loans, you don’t have to pay them back. Students must fill out the FAFSA each year in order to be considered for federal grants.
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who have not yet earned a degree.
The amount you receive depends on your Student Aid Index (SAI), the cost of attendance at your school and your program, your enrollment status (full-time or part-time student), and your plans to attend school for a full academic year or less.
In certain situations, an eligible student can receive up to 150 percent of their scheduled Pell Grant award for an award year.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is a need-based grant awarded by the Financial Aid Office to students with the greatest financial need. It does not need to be repaid.
Federal Work Study
The Federal Work-Study is a need-based program that funds part-time jobs for students. A student’s eligibility is based on the information from their FAFSA. Eligible students must be enrolled in six credits per semester, and maintain SAP in order to qualify for Federal Work-study.
For more information about Federal Work Study, and on-campus employment here at RCBC, students can talk to the Career Services Department.
