By combining federal, state and ASU gift aid (i.e. Pell Grant, ASU Grant, University Grant, LEAP, and scholarships) with Federal Work-Study and other resources, ASU will cover students' direct costs of attending ASU (minus the student's Expected Family Contribution) for eight full-time, consecutive semesters. Direct costs include tuition, fees, room, board and books.
ASU will award recipients the following potential combinations of aid. These awards do not require repayment.
* Pell Grants—this federal gift assistance program supports students who have exceptional need.
* Institutional Grants—ASU gift assistance available to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need. These grants include the ASU Grant, the University Grant and the ASU Advantage Grant.
* FSEOG and LEAP Grants—gift assistance available to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need.
* Federal Work-Study—a student employment program that allows students to earn funds to assist in paying their educational costs.
* Scholarships— gift assistance awarded by ASU and private donors that recognizes exceptional achievement.
* Outside Resources—funding received from outside sources that assists students in paying for their educational expenses.
In essence, ASU will guarantee that 100% of the estimated direct costs of these students will be met with financial aid that does not require repayment (minus the student's Expected Family Contribution).
* Arizona Resident.
* Admission to ASU as a degree-seeking freshman beginning the fall semester (pursing first undergraduate degree).
* Demonstration of total family income of $25,000 or less on the FAFSA for eligible students entering fall 2007.
* Enter ASU beginning the fall semester immediately after Arizona high school graduation.
* Native American high school seniors that meet the Arizona residency criteria for tuition purposes at ASU are eligible.
* Full-time enrollment.
* Program participation extends for eight full-time, consecutive semesters.
