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 for 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. The FAFSA must be renewed each academic year to determine aid eligibility.
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 qualify for this grant. Grant amounts will vary based on funding.
Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP) is a state grant for Alabama residents. This grant has limited funding. Students must be enrolled for at least half-time to be eligible for it. Grant amounts will vary based on funding.
