The highest grant amounts are provided to eligible students who exhibit the highest financial need as determined from their financial aid application (FAFSA). Furthermore, emergency grant award amounts for students who are enrolled less than full time will be prorated accordingly. For example, students enrolled in 6 credit hours would receive less than half the amount that a full-time student would receive.
