Grants

ICC offers Federal Pell Grants and Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) to students.

Federal Pell Grants are grants for students who demonstrate financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal Pell Grants are awarded on an annual basis and up to one-half of the award is disbursed each term as long as the student otherwise qualifies for the grant funds.

To be eligible for Federal Pell Grants, the student must:

  • Meet basic Federal Student Aid eligibility criteria
  • Demonstrate financial need
  • Make Satisfactory Academic Progress
  • Complete verification (if selected for verification)
  • Be attending class(es)

The Federal Pell Grant award amount is determined by taking into consideration:

  • Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
  • Your year in school
  • Your enrollment status (full-time, half-time, etc)
  • Your cost of attendance at ICC

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are for students enrolled at least half time and demonstrating financial need. FSEOG are awarded to students in the following manner:

  • On Campus Residents are allotted 75% of ICC's total FSEOG funding. Funds are awarded to students with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of '0' who will receive a Federal Pell Grant in the award year; followed by students with an EFC of '0' who will not receive a Federal Pell Grant in the award year. Most On Campus Residents receive $600 per year in FSEOG.
     
  • Off Campus Residents are allotted 25% of ICC's total FSEOG funds. Off Campus Residents are awarded in the same priority order as On Campus Residents. Most Off Campus Residents receive $300 per year in FSEOG.
     
  • FSEOG funds awarded in the Summer term are awarded in the same manner as Spring/Fall terms, but the award amount may vary depending on funding availability.
