Financial Aid Sources

Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is an award to help undergraduate students pay for their education beyond high school. For many students, Pell Grants provide a "foundation" of financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources may be added. Grants do not have to be repaid. The amount of financial aid a student is eligible to receive through the Pell Grant is determined by using the information on the FAFSA. The U.S. Department of Education applies a standard formula established by Congress to determine Pell Grant eligibility. The Financial Aid Office at Moultrie Technical College will assist you with the Pell Grant application. You should apply well in advance (4-6 weeks) of the registration or pre-registration date. Your financial aid file must be complete by designated deadlines, or you will be required to pay the tuition and fees and then apply for reimbursement.

Federal Work Study (FWS)
The Federal Work Study program provides jobs for students who demonstrate financial need. FWS enables students to work while attending school. FWS gives students a chance to earn money to help pay for educational expenses. FWS is subject to limited funding.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG is a federally funded grant for undergraduates. Priority for FSEOG is given to students with the lowest EFC (Estimated Family Contribution). Students are not required to be enrolled full time to receive FSEOG. FSEOG is available fall and spring semesters.

HOPE Scholarship
Georgia residents seeking an Associate in Applied Science Degree may be eligible for a Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship. Only students who graduated from high school in 1993 or later and were HOPE Scholars will qualify for the HOPE Scholarship as an entering freshman. Other students may qualify if they achieve a 3.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of 30, 60, and 90 attempted semester hours. The grade average is based on all college-level credit hours attempted after high school graduation. The HOPE Scholarship will cover $60.75 per credit hour of tuition expenses. All students receiving the HOPE Scholarship will be reevaluated for eligibility at 30, 60, and 90 attempted semester hours and at the end of each spring semester. Students must have a 3.0 HOPE cumulative grade point average to continue on the HOPE Scholarship program. To apply, students should complete the HOPE Scholarship Evaluation Form. Students become ineligible for the HOPE Scholarship seven years after the date they graduated from high school or earned a GED. Students who have already completed a Bachelor’s degree or higher are not eligible for the HOPE Scholarship.
