There are three (3) categories of federal student aid: grants, work-study, and loans. Grants are generally awarded based on financial eligibility. Grants can come from many sources such as the federal and state government.<\/p>\n

The two major sources are the Federal Pell program and the State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Please note: anyone convicted and having completed incarceration for a forcible or non-forcible sexual offense is ineligible to receive a Federal Pell grant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
