Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
The ACG is for first-year students who graduated from high school after January 1, 2006 OR second-year students who graduated after January 1, 2005. The ACG is available for two years, but receiving the grant one year does not necessarily mean a student will receive it both years. In order to be eligible for the ACG, a student must be receiving a Pell Grant and must have completed a rigorous high school program, among other requirements. The award for the first year is $750 and $1300 for the second. In order to be considered for this grant, students must complete the
FAFSA. For more information, visit the
Federal Student Aid website.
