Grants
Grants are another way to secure funding for college. When the grant application opens, students are encouraged to apply. Sometimes, grants are completed in phases (this also applies to scholarships in some cases). Tamesha gives a clear understanding of the following:
-
Know The types - Understanding the difference between federal, state, and private funders for student eligibility is important.
-
Locating Grants - Share valuable tips on where to locate funds and teach a strategy on how to keep track.
-
Application Expectations - Review the academic requirements with students to ensure each section is understood.
-
Follow-Up - Connect with students to answer questions and be sure they are comfortable with the process.
