Basic Educational Opportunity Grant ProgramThis program is a Federal aid program designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend post-high school educational institutions. Basic Grants are intended to be the "floor" of a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet the educational needs. The amount of the student's basic Grant is determined on the basis of his own and his family's financial resources. You, as a student, will be eligible for a grant if you meet these criteria: 1. You have established your financial need by means of the BEOG application. 2. You will be enrolled in an eligible program at an eligible college, university, vocational or technical school, and you will be attending at least on a one-half time basis. 3. You are a U.S. Citizen, or are in the United States for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a permanent resident or are a permanent resident of the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Award is a grant and, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Application forms are available at the Financial Aids Office.

A pamphlet describing this program is available at the Financial Aids Office. Nursing Loan ProgramA Federal program to assist students in nursing is available.
