There are four types of federal student aid grants:

• Federal Pell Grant

• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

• Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)

• National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent

Grant (National SMART Grant)

Unlike loans, grants are not repaid unless, for example, you are awarded

funds incorrectly or you withdraw from school prior to the planned

end of term. All federal grants are awarded to students with financial

need. The amount of your Federal Pell Grant depends on your cost of

attendance,* expected family contribution,* enrollment status (full or

part-time) and whether you attend for a full academic year* or less. To

receive a FSEOG, ACG, or National SMART Grant, you must first be

eligible and receive a Federal Pell Grant. The amount of your FSEOG,

ACG and National SMART Grant depends on your financial need.
