SCHOLARSHIP FOR MILITARY VETERAN STUDENTS

Under the Yellow Ribbon Program, the college coordinates with the Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) to ensure full coverage of a veteran’s institutional charges from the college. 

Value: The college’s scholarship amount ensures that the veteran student’s tuition and fees are covered 100% despite the annual cap set by the VA. 

Eligibility: In order to access this benefit, a veteran student must qualify into the 100% coverage tier of the Chapter 33 Benefits Program.

FEDERAL STUDENT AID GRANTS

The U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid program awards two grants to eligible students. Please visit the Federal Student Aid website for more information. 

Federal Pell Grant The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students who have exceptional financial need and who have not earned a bachelor’s degree. Unlike a loan, the Pell Grant does not have to be repaid. The amount an individual student may receive is determined by factors including factual information provided on the FAFSA®. A student may receive the Federal Pell Grant for no more than 150% of the average program length. A BFA student may receive a Federal Pell Grant for 18 academic quarters or the equivalent (roughly six years). 

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is awarded as a supplement to other sources of financial aid to undergraduate students who have exceptional financial need and who have not earned a bachelor’s degree. Students receiving Federal Pell Grants receive priority in FSEOG awards. The FSEOG does not have to be repaid. 

Financial aid is available for those who qualify. To learn more about the institutional aid offered at Columbia College Hollywood or to receive assistance with completing the FAFSA for federal aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 818.401.1030.
