Federal Pell Grant
Students who demonstrate financial need, who are enrolled in a Title IV program, who have regular or provisional status, and who have not received a bachelor’s degree may qualify for this grant. Pell grants are awarded through strict rules set by the U.S. Department of Education. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine eligibility. Ogeechee Tech’s Title IV Institution Code is 030300.
Students who complete the FAFSA may be selected for verification. If selected, the student must provide documentation that supports information entered on the FAFSA. Documentation may include (but is not limited to):
- Verification Worksheet
- IRS-issued copy of student’s/spouse’s Federal Income Tax Return
- IRS-issued copy of parent’s Federal Income Tax Return
- Student’s Social Security Card
- W-2’s of student, spouse, or parent
- Birth Certificate
- SSA-1099
- Parent’s Social Security Card
All degree and diploma programs are Title IV eligible. However, only some certificate programs are eligible for Title IV aid. Contact the Financial Aid Office for the list of Title IV eligible certificate programs.
