Grants
Gift Aid
This is assistance from non-college sources that you
do not need to repay.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal government awarded Pell Grants to U.S.
citizens and permanent residents based on financial need as determined
by completion of a FAFSA. Amounts of assistance will range from $400 to
$4050 for the 2005-2006 academic year. These amounts may increase
thereafter depending upon Congressional funding.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG)
This federal program provides grant funds for
exceptionally needy students who qualify for a Pell Grant and who have
the lowest expected family contributions.
North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant
North Carolina residents enrolled for at least 12
credit-hours per semester who meet all state residency requirements, are
eligible to receive a fixed yearly amount of $1800 to help defray your
tuition cost.
North Carolina State Contractual Scholarship
Grant
North Carolina residents enrolled for at least 12
credit-hours per semester who meet all state residency requirements, are
able to receive this grant providing they demonstrate financial need as
determined by the FAFSA. The amount of the grant is at the discretion of
the Director of Financial Aid.
Veteran And Military Benefits
Lees-McRae College's academic programs are approved
by the North Carolina State Approving Agency for enrollment of persons
eligible for education assistance benefits from the U.S. Department of
Veteran Affairs. Entitled veterans, participants in the Montgomery G.I.
Bill contributory program, active duty military in voluntary education
programs, drilling National Guardsmen, drilling Reservists, and eligible
spouses and offspring who have applied, met all admissions criteria,
been fully accepted, and actively matriculated may be certified to the
U.S. DVA Regional offices as enrolled and in pursuit of an approved
program of Education.
Academic Requirements
The law requires that educational assistance
benefits to veterans and other eligible persons are discontinued when
the student ceases to make satisfactory progress toward completion of
his/her training objective. Benefits cannot be resumed unless DVA finds
that the cause of the unsatisfactory progress or conduct has been
removed and the program of education or training to be pursued by the
student is suitable to his/her aptitudes, interests, and abilities.
Veterans and other eligible persons follow the same
standards of academic progress that apply to all Lees-McRae students.
These standards are described in the Academic Information section of
this catalog. Veterans and other eligible persons are required to seek
assistance by contacting their instructor, counselor, advisor, or the
Registrar before academic difficulties place them on Academic Probation
or Academic Suspension. For information about monetary benefits, contact
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in
Winston-Salem, NC. For information about available programs at
Lees-McRae, contact Director of Financial Aid.
