New for 2012-13:

Beginning for the 2012-13 academic year, new federal regulations will effect the maximum semesters that a student can receive a Federal Pell Grant.  The duration of a student’s eligibility to receive a Federal Pell Grant has changed from 18 semesters (or its equivalent) to 12 semesters (or its equivalent). The calculation of the duration of a student’s eligibility will include all years that a student has received Federal Pell Grant funding.  

 

For example, if you have attended college for *4 years or longer,* receiving the Federal Pell Grant each year, you are likely to exhaust or have already exhausted your lifetime limit of 12 semesters of Federal Pell Grant eligibility for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

A federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant does not have to be repaid. Priority consideration is given to those with the lowest Expected Family Contribution figure (EFC) and who qualify for the federal Pell Grant. This is a campus-based program which means that every eligible student is not guaranteed receipt of these funds.

Access Missouri Grant

The Missouri Access Program provides need-based grants to full-time Missouri resident students who have completed their FAFSA by April 1, have an EFC within the guidelines set by the state for this program and who do not have a prior degree. Awards are based upon state funding levels. Click here for more information.

Flarsheim Grant

A Flarsheim Grant does not have to be repaid. These grants are awarded based on need as determined by the US Department of Education's standard formula. The college receives a limited number of funds for these grants each year. Priority is given to those who qualify and have met the college priority deadline.
