LEAP Grant

Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership
The State of Georgia provides Southern Crescent Technical College with limited funds for students who are residents of Georgia, enrolled at least half-time, and who have demonstrated financial need. In an effort to assist as many students as possible, LEAP will not be awarded to students who receive SEOG. Funds are extremely limited and there is no guarantee all eligible students will receive the grant.

Pell Grant

The U.S. Department of Education uses a standard formula to evaluate Pell Grant eligibility by the information a student supplies on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This formula produces an EFC (expected family contribution) number, which will determine if the student is eligible for the grant. Applicants must be undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's degree.
