Key Terms and Definitions:
Pell Grant: A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. (A professional degree would include a degree in a field such as pharmacy or dentistry.) For many students, Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid may be added.
To determine eligibility for a Pell Grant, the U.S. Department of Education uses a formula established by Congress. This formula evaluates financial information a student supplies, the cost of attendance at their institution, full or part-time status, and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less. Pell Grant funds, and the maximum grant, are appropriated annually by Congress. The maximum award for the current award year (2004-05) is $4,050.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG): The FSEOG program provides an additional source of grant aid for exceptionally needy students. Supplemental Grant recipients use these funds in combination with other forms of grant, loan and work-study aid to meet their total expenses. Any academically qualified student may apply for aid to complete a certificate of degree program. First priority for Supplemental Grant awards are Pell Grant recipients. The Federal share of the award under the program cannot exceed 75 percent; the remaining 25 percent of the award must be contributed by the participating institution. The maximum annual award is $4,000; the minimum is $100.
Work-Study: The Federal Work-Study program leverages resources from schools and the private sector to provide opportunities for students to earn money to pay for college. The program is also designed to encourage students receiving federal financial aid to participate in community service. In addition to providing self-help
assistance for students, Federal Work-Study funds help create partnerships between the federal government, postsecondary schools, students and communities.
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships: Through matching formula grants to States, the LEAP Program provides grant aid to students with substantial financial need to help them pay for their postsecondary education costs. This partnership between states and the federal government requires that states match federal LEAP funding. When the amount of federal funding reaches $30 million, states that wish to participate must match the allocation 2 to 1.
Federal Family Education Loan (FFELP) and Direct Loan (DL) Programs: The FFELP and DL programs help make low-interest, variable rate loans available to students and their families to pay for the costs of attending postsecondary institutions. Direct loans are loans provided and serviced directly through the federal
government. FFELP leverages private capital from banks and other lenders, and are administered primarily through private companies, state and non-profit agencies. Federal loan programs assist a broad spectrum
of students and their parents. The federal government pays loan interest for students with demonstrated need while they are in school and during grace and deferment periods. Eligible undergraduate students can
borrow up to $23,500 to pursue their studies.
Perkins Loans: The Federal Perkins Loan Program provides low-interest loans to needy students. Loan capital is procured from federal appropriations, institutions’ contributions, and from collections from prior borrowers. Funds are allocated by formula to institutions for distribution to eligible students. Eligible undergraduate students may borrow up to $4,000 annually,with a maximum aggregate undergraduate limit of $18,000.
Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTG): The Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTG) program funds help strengthen the role of community colleges in promoting the U.S. workforce's full potential. The grants are employer-focused and build on the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative, a national model for demand-driven workforce development implemented by strategic partnerships between the workforce investment system, employers, and community colleges and other training providers. The primary purpose of the CBJTG program is to build the capacity of community colleges to train workers to develop the skills required to succeed in high growth/high demand industries.
TRIO: TRIO is a compilation of five programs that provide direct outreach and student support services to high school, college and university students. The programs are designed to encourage individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter and complete college. By law, at least two-thirds of the students served by TRIO programs must be the first in their family to attend college.
Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act: Perkins Act programs are intended to enhance educational opportunities for all vocational career and technical education students at public secondary and postsecondary schools. Funds are disseminated to states, which in turn allocate funds by formula
to secondary and postsecondary schools. State funds are used to provide technical expertise and professional development opportunities to teachers and administrators, develop accountability systems and support student organizations. Funds that are directed to public secondary and two-year postsecondary schools are used for program improvement, including equipment, curriculum development, and professional development.
Strengthening Institutions and Hispanic-Serving Institutions Grants: These programs award competitive grants to accredited institutions that offer undergraduate degrees. For Strengthening Institution grants, institutions must have relatively limited resources and serve a high percentage of needy students. For Hispanic-Serving Institutions grants, at least 25 percent of the full-time undergraduates must qualify as Hispanic enrollment; 50 percent or more classified as low-income students.
