REQUEST INFORMATION
GRANTS
Grants are a form of financial aid that do not need to be repaid. Students pursuing a degree at Trinity Florida may be eligible to receive federal or state grants. Additionally, Trinity International University makes tuition scholarships (see below) available to students who demonstrate special ability or financial need. The University reserves the right to limit the number of scholarships awarded in any program.
FEDERAL PELL GRANT
To be considered for this grant, the student must complete the FAFSA and send it to the Federal Processor. Once the FAFSA is processed, the Student Aid Report (SAR) will be generated and sent directly to the student. The student is instructed to review the SAR for any needed corrections. The TIU Financial Aid Office will evaluate the electronic SAR to determine the student’s eligibility. Students may be eligible for awards ranging from $585 to $5,775 per academic year.
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG)
To be eligible, the applicant must be a full-time student at TIU and show a financial need as reported on the SAR. Awards range from $100 to $1,000 per academic year. This program has limited funding, so it is strongly recommended that students apply early.
TEACH Grant
Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program that provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. For more information, please visit the TEACH Grant portion of the federal website.
