The grant is a 'last dollar' grant.
Useless to me... they won't let it apply to graduate programs, which I totally understand, but still, I wished this had played out earlier...
The 'last dollar' grants are common. Why would a program give you money to go to school if you could get financial aid for it? Our grants and state funded programs are 'last dollar' as well.
You have to use any federal grants you qualify for. They cover for the cost over those grants. The goal is the ability to get a 2 year degree without cost to you. They don't want you to have to take out loans. You just have to be able to qualify for the loans. I guess their reasoning on that is that if you have done something that disqualified you from school loans then you don't deserve their grant money.
