The Guaranteed Access Grant will pay for most college expenses if a student's family income is very low.
Applications are available in high school guidance offices.
The scholarship pays for four years of college and, when combined with a Pell Grant, will cover most of the college expenses at a public college or university. The awards are based on financial need, and priority is given to renewals and students with the greatest need. It's available to graduating high school seniors as well as college undergraduates and graduate students. To qualify, high school students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in core curriculum courses. College students must have and maintain a GPA of 3,0.
