Eligibility is based on the student's resources and is determined by a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Education; therefore, applicants must complete the FAFSA.

  • Currently this program pays $11.00-$12.00 per hour. 
  • Student must be meeting standards of the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.
