Grants, unlike loans, do not have to be repaid. Generally, grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's degree. You may be eligible for grants if you are full-time, part-time, or less than part-time, even if you do not attend school for a full academic year. A student may not receive federal or state funds for more than one school at a time.

The federal government publishes Funding Education Beyond High School, which discusses in length many areas of financial aid. The student must complete the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to apply for grants. Students are encouraged to list the ETSU Title IV School Code: 003487 on the FAFSA. There are various grant programs, each of which is need-based. Need is determined by the difference between the cost of attendance at ETSU and the expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is determined by the United States Department of Education's standard formula used by the Federal Student Aid Programs to evaluate the information an applicant reports on the FAFSA.
