4) Acknowledgment
I understand that if my federally allotted financial aid has been maxed out for this academic year, my grant will be credited towards any loans I have taken. I also understand that if I have no loans, and I have maxed out my financial aid, I will not receive this grant.

I understand that to be eligible for Grant Aid I must complete a meeting with a TRIO advisor prior to September 30 at 4:00PM. Not doing so, including failing to attend multiple scheduled meetings, could impact my chance of receiving a grant aid scholarship award.

I understand

I understand that if awarded Grant Aid, per federal regulations, I will be required to complete financial literacy training each semester including one workshop and one 1:1 coaching event.
