FEDERAL GRANTS
The following information on the Federal Grant Programs is meant to give you a brief overview of the programs available at the School of Mines. Detailed information is available from the U.S. Department of Education publication Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid.
To be considered for the Federal Grant Programs, students must file a new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year (Click Here for filing options). You must be a degree-seeking student at the School of Mines in order to be awarded aid of any type. These programs are available to undergraduate students only.
Pell Grant: Available only to undergraduate students who have not completed their first Bachelors degree (fulfilling degree completion requirements, but not applying for graduation or participating in the graduation ceremony, still constitutes completing the first Bachelors degree and the student is not Pell Grant eligible). Your Pell Grant award is based on the Expected Family Contribution listed on your Student Aid Report and full-time attendance. However, the actual amount that will be applied to your account will be based on your enrollment status as of the final add/drop date each semester, which is approximately the 10th day of the semester. If you are not enrolled in at least 12 credit hours as of the final add/drop date, an adjustment will be made to the amount of Pell Grant funds applied to your account. As a result, you could have an unpaid balance due on your account. Students enrolled less than half-time may be eligible.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG): Available only to undergraduate students. This is a limited funded Federal program with awarding priority given to Pell Grant recipients who show financial need through the FAFSA and who have filed their FAFSA on January 1 (prior to the fall semester the student will be attending Mines) and thereafter until funds are exhausted for the award year. Recipients must be attending at least half-time in order to actually receive the funds awarded. In an effort to make this program available to as many students as possible, our awards may range from $200 to $1,000.
