Three grants are available to students demonstrating financial need: Pell Grants, Federal Educational Opportunity Grants, and the Alabama Student Assistance Program. Grants do not have to be repaid. A student who has demonstrated financial need, has not earned a bachelor’s degree, and is enrolled in a postsecondary school may be eligible to receive a grant.
Pell Grants are a primary source of student financial aid and are part of the Title IV Federal Financial Aid Program. To apply, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.studentaid.gov with CVCC federal school code 012182. FAFSA must be renewed in order to determine aid eligibility each academic year.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is another grant from the federal government. There is a limited amount of funding for this grant. Students must be enrolled for at least half-time to be eligible for this grant. Grant amounts will vary based on funding.
Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP) is a state grant for students who are Alabama residents. There is a limited amount of funding for this grant. Students must be enrolled for at least half-time to be eligible for this grant. Grant amounts will vary based on funding.
