Grants are financial aid that\u00a0does not require repayment.\u00a0 All federal grants are awarded to eligible students with financial need. Failure to maintain a minimum of 12 credit hours (full-time enrollment) each semester may result in cancellation or reduction of all grants. Jackson State University participates in the following federal and state grant programs.<\/p>\n

Federal Pell Grant (FPELL)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students with no prior bachelor’s or professional degree. Eligibility is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculated by FAFSA. \u00a0 The EFC is calculated from the data students report on the FAFSA.\u00a0 A minimum of 12 credit hours each semester is required to receive FULL<\/strong>\u00a0eligibility; awards are pro-rated for less than 12 credit hours of enrollment. Students who have received a prior bachelor\u2019s degree are not eligible for Pell Grants.\u00a0 You\u00a0may not receive Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.<\/p>\n

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need (lowest EFC on FAFSA) who are Federal Pell Grant recipients. Awards range from $100 to $4,000 yearly. Enrollment of six credit hours per semester is required to receive FSEOG funds. Priority is given to students who FAFSA is received and processed at Jackson State University by the April 15th<\/sup> deadline each year.\u00a0 Students who have received a prior bachelor\u2019s degree are NOT<\/strong> eligible for FSEOG.<\/p>\n

Awarding FSEOG depends on the amount of funds that the school receives each year from the U.S. Department of Education.\u00a0 JSU\u2019s Financial Aid Office decides how to award these funds.\u00a0 It is important that you apply early to be considered for these funds.\u00a0 Due to limited funds, not everyone who qualifies for FSEOG will receive it.<\/p>\n

Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant (TEACH)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program, provides up to $4000 per year in grant assistance to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families.\u00a0 If, after reading all of the information on the link below, you are interested in learning more about the TEACH Grant Program, contact a\u00a0financial aid counselor in our office at 601-979-2227 or email us at: finaid@jsums.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Complete 2 Compete Program is a state program that helps Mississippi adults who previously attended college earn a degree.<\/p>\n

Other Mississippi State Grants and Scholarships<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State of Mississippi has several grant and scholarship\/loan programs available to students who attend a recognized college or university in the State.\u00a0 Students attending the university should consider the eligibility requirements of the state funded financial aid programs.<\/p>\n

State Grants (Other than Mississippi)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants who live outside of Mississippi should check with their state agencies to determine whether funds are available for students to attend out-of-state colleges and universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
