What is the Award Amount for the M.J. 寄养承诺计划?

M.J. 寄养承诺计划 will serve as a “last dollar” award, which means all applicants will be required to 完成FAFSA to determine eligibility for other sources of federal aid or demonstrate eligibility for federal aid. The Promise funds would apply to any balances after federal, 状态, or institutional aid has been disbursed, so award amounts will differ student by student.

The Promise funds can be used over a period of 三年 覆盖 学杂费, but no additional funds will be rebated to students. Lifetime individual caps on the awards will match the maximum TOPS Tech benefit in current law ($6,400). 奖励金额为 每年3200美元.  Student may receive maximum award amount of $6400 if enrolled in a high-cost program. If a student does not meet the continuation requirements, 和其他项目一样, 他们可以申请例外.
