Federal and State Grants
Grants Overview
Grants are financial aid that does not usually need to be repaid. There are criteria you must meet in order to qualify, depending on the aid program:
Federal Pell Grants:
Grants for eligible undergraduate students (who have not earned a prior bachelor’s degree) have a maximum award that changes each award year. The actual amount of the grant is based on the cost of the education, financial need, number of hours enrolled and the Federal Pell Grant regulations.
Visit studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/pell for more details on how much money eligible students can get from the Pell Grant program.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG):
Grants for undergraduate students (who have not earned a prior bachelor’s degree) who show exceptional need.
Visit studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/grants/fseog for more details on how much money eligible students can get from the FSEOG program.
State-Funded Programs:
Many states have grant and scholarship programs that provide funding to students who demonstrate financial need or have successfully achieved certain academic qualifications. Recipients are typically required to:
- Attend a location within the state of legal residence, and
- Provide proof of residence
Speak with a student finance advisor to see if your state participates in a funding program with Chamberlain.
Chamberlain Workforce Investment Opportunity Act (WIOA) Funding
Please note that participation in State and Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding programs is not guaranteed. These programs have specific eligibility criteria and training provider requirements that Chamberlain needs to evaluate carefully. As such, students are strongly encouraged to secure an alternate form of funding to ensure uninterrupted progress in their education.
