Determining Eligibility

    • The Financial Aid 奖学金包括助学金、奖学金和贷款.  However, you have the option to request a reduction or cancelation of student loan(s) you may have accepted or received.  这意味着GSTG资金将取代贷款, essentially paying off a portion or the entirety of your loans for the Academic Year or semester. 
  • GSTG approval will also impact the amount you may have been awarded in Middle-Class Scholarship (MCS); in most cases, it will result in a cancelation as GSTG is typically a higher amount than MCS.
  • If you applied for a Federal Teach Grant, it may delay the processing of your GSTG application.  Teach Grant eligibility must be determined first before we can certify the GSTG application, the amount of TEACH Grant will determine your remaining eligibility for GSTG. 
  • Funds can be awarded for the full academic year, including Summer (if enrolled), or one term only.  Typically, 当学生申请全年(包括夏季)的GSTG资金时, the $20,奖金将按每学期1/3的比例分配(6美元),667), however each student's situation may be different depending on their COA, 和其他可用的经济援助.  Additionally, 学生可以申请不超过20美元的贷款,如果他们想把资金留到下一年，就得给我一万美元, 然而，资格不能保证, 因为它取决于新援助年度的剩余资格, 达到令人满意的学业进展, and availability of state funds.
