Grants
Grants, unlike loans, do not have to be repaid. Generally, grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not yet earned a bachelor's degree. Students may be eligible for grants if enrolled full-time, part-time, or less than part-time, even if they have been out of school for a full previous academic year. A student may not receive federal or state grants at more than one school at a time.
The federal government publishes Funding Education Beyond High School, which discusses many aspects of financial aid at length. 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 available, 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.
