Grants

Grants are funds awarded on the basis of specific criteria, depending on the funding source. They do not have to be repaid. The first four grant programs listed below are for undergraduate students only. The rest apply to undergraduate or graduate students. As noted, some programs are available to Albizu University (AU) students studying in either San Juan Campus or Miami Campus, while others apply only to students who are completing their studies at the Miami Campus. General information on federal grants and scholarships can be found here.

Grants for Undergraduates

Federal PELL Grant Program (San Juan/Miami)

Federal Pell Grants are usually awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. (In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a postbaccalaureate teacher certification program might receive a Federal Pell Grant.) The amount of Pell Grant funding a student may receive in an award year depends on their family’s income, the cost of college attendance, and their enrollment status.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) (San Juan/Miami)

This grant is available to undergraduate students demonstrating exceptional financial need. Priority is given to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. The amount of an award depends on the student’s financial need and the availability of funds at the university. Each participating school receives a certain amount of FSEOG funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education. Once the full amount of the school’s allotted funds has been awarded to students, no more FSEOG awards can be made for that year.

Florida Student Scholarship Grant Program (FSAG) (Miami)

This program is available to full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students in Florida who demonstrate substantial financial need.

Access to Better Learning and Education (ABLE) Grant Program (Miami)

This grant provides tuition assistance to Florida undergraduate students enrolled in degree programs at eligible private Florida colleges or universities. ABLE is a decentralized Florida State program, which means that each participating institution determines application procedures, deadlines, and student eligibility.
