Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
An
Academic Competitiveness Grant will provide up to $750 for the first year of
undergraduate study and up to $1,300 for the second year of undergraduate
study to full-time students who are U.S. citizens eligible for a Federal
Pell Grant, and who had successfully completed a
rigorous high school program,
as determined by the state or local education agency and recognized by the
Secretary of Education. Second year students must also have maintained a
cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0. The program will be
available for the first time for the 2006-07 school year for first year
students who graduated from high school after January 1, 2006 and for second
year students who graduated from high school after January 1, 2005. The
Academic Competitiveness Grant award is in addition to the student's
Pell Grant award.

Email
We want to correspond with you through email.
Using email helps us save on the costs of paper, postage, etc. You
also have the benefit of getting correspondence from us immediately rather
than waiting for snail mail. Do we have your
email address? If we do, is it correct?
You can provide an email address, verify the current
email address that we have or update your address by completing
the
address/email change request form. If we do have your email
address, here are some tips to make sure you actually receive our emails.
We don't want you to miss out on important information that may affect
your financial aid!
- Make sure your email box isn't full. There are many emails
that we are sending that are bouncing back because the box is full.
Check for email from us often and keep your box clear.
- Some e-mail accounts include "bulk mail folders" or "junk mail
folders" and our emails to you may be perceived as unsolicited mail and
directed in to these folders or you may not get them at all. Check
all your folders to determine if this is happening.
- Because our email may contain a hyperlink, the message may be
perceived as unwanted email or "spam" and your personal email account
settings may filter it out. You may have to contact your provider
if this occurs.
- To ensure that our email reaches you,
you may want to set
up a free e-mail account at
www.yahoo.com,
www.xap.com or
www.google.com and
don’t give it to anyone but us. Make sure you provide us with this
email address at
address/email change request form.
