Federal Grants
Grants links: Federal Grants | State Grants | Grant Payment Chart
There are four types of federal student aid grants offered by CNM:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)
Unlike loans, grants are not repaid unless, for example, you are awarded funds incorrectly or you withdraw from school prior to the planned end of the term. All federal grants are awarded to students with financial need. The amount of your Federal Pell Grant depends on your cost of attendance, expected family contribution, enrollment status (full or part-time) and whether you attend for a full academic year or less. To receive a FSEOG or ACG you must first be eligible and receive a Federal Pell Grant. The amount of your FSEOG and ACG depends on your financial need.
