The GEG does not apply to courses in the College s Distance Education program. Columbia College is exceptionally proud to offer this benefit to its full-time employees. Recipients of a GEG are not eligible to receive any other institutional aid, other than designated awards granted at the Honors and Awards Convocation. Employees are eligible to apply for a GEG upon completion of one year of continuous service with Columbia College. Exceptions to this restriction may be requested through the Administrative Council representative.
Employees residing on campus pay regular rates for room, board, and other services.
Full-time employees at Extended Studies Division locations may attend classes under the GEG at any location of Columbia College. The grant value will be determined by the tuition charged at the site. Complete the EEG verification form, the Application for Financial Aid and registration forms and obtain signatures from the employee's immediate supervisor and Administrative Council representative. Return the Application for Financial Aid to the Financial Aid Office. Return the EEG verification and registration forms to the Office of the Vice President and Dean for Academic Affairs for final approval.
