Completion Grant

Students within 1-2 quarters or 15 or less credits from completing a program may be eligible.

Completion Grant FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

No, the Completion Grant provides one-time funding in the event of enrollment-threatening financial situations. The award is grant funded and does not need to be paid back.

No, the Completion Grant was established to provide “last dollar” financial support for students that are nearing completion of the certificate or degree and who are experiencing an enrollment-threatening financial hardship. This means that other sources of funding must be used before the Completion Grant can be awarded.
