Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
Awards are subject to the following limitations:
1. Standard awards are set at a maximum of
				$1,000 per award year, which is allocated at $500 per term for up to two terms
				per award year. For institutions not on a semester-based calendar, council
				staff will determine an equivalent award per term.
2. An additional $1,000 per year is available
				to students enrolled into an eligible science, teaching, engineering,
				mathematics, or nursing degree (STEMN) program, which is allocated at $500 per
				term for up to two terms per award year. For institutions not on a
				semester-based calendar, council staff will determine an equivalent award per
				term.
3. If the general
				appropriation is insufficient to provide a full award to all eligible students,
				then the awards for all students shall be reduced proportionately.
4. Degree programs eligible for the
				additional amount will be identified in the council's guidance document: CTG
				Addendum - Eligible STEMN Degree Programs.

				must be checked prior to each disbursement of funds.

				all other financial assistance (exclusive of the student's EFC), exceeds the
				student's cost of attendance.

				CTG recipients must have their state need-based financial aid eligibility
				reduced by the amount of the CTG award. For purposes of recalculating
				eligibility for the Commonwealth Award or Virginia Guaranteed Assistance
				Program (VGAP) grant, the student's tuition and fees are reduced by the amount
				of the CTG award. These adjusted tuition and fees are then used to recalculate
				the CTG recipient's cost of attendance used to determine the student's
				eligibility for the Commonwealth Award or VGAP. In no case should a student's
				CTG and Commonwealth Award combine to exceed tuition and fees or the CTG and
				VGAP combine to exceed tuition, fees, and a book allowance.
