Grants
Grants are a form of gift financial aid. You are not required to repay
a
grant.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is funded by the federal government. Full payment of the
award is made only if the student carries 12 credit hours per quarter. A student
carrying one credit hour to eleven credit hours may receive a proportionately
reduced award. However, in some cases, a student enrolled for fewer than 12 credit
hours may not receive a Federal Pell Grant.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
The FSEOG is provided to assist a student who has an exceptional financial need.
The maximum amount that can be granted for the academic year is $4,000. FSEOGs
are dependent upon yearly federal allocations; the amount awarded, therefore,
may be much less than the authorized maximum.
A typical award at Clark State will range from $200-600 per academic year.
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
The Academic Competitiveness Grant is funded by the federal government and is in addition to the Federal Pell Grant. This grant is only given to full-time students in their freshman and sophomore years who have successfully completed a rigorous high school program as determined by the state or local education agency and recognized by the Secretary of Education.
Ohio Instructional Grant (OIG)
This program is funded by the State of Ohio. Only Ohio and Pennsylvania residents
are eligible to apply. For this award, a student must carry at least 12 credit
hours per quarter. The amount of the OIG may be used only for instructional and
general fees. Award information is sent directly to Clark State from the Ohio
Board of Regents.
The application deadline for this grant is October 1.
Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG)
This program is funded by the State of Ohio. Only Ohio and Pennsylvania residents are eligible to apply. For this award a student can carry as little as three credit hours to receive a partial grant. This program will unite The Ohio Instructional Grant and the Part-Time Ohio Instructional Grant into one so that more families receive aid to gain a higher education. This program began in the 2006-2007 academic school year for the students entering college for the first time. The application deadline for this grant is October 1.
TANF Educational Award Program (TEAP)
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, in partnership with the Ohio Board of Regents, have established this program which was launched by a Governor’s Executive Order this year. There are strict eligibility requirements that must be met. However, once met, a student is entitled to up to $1200 per year as a full-time student and up to $600 per year as a part-time student.
