Financial Aid
Purpose of Financial Aid
Financial aid is intended to help students who might not otherwise be able to attend a CTE program at BPACE. Although the primary responsibility for meeting school costs rests with the student and or his/her family, it is recognized that many families have limited resources and are unable to meet the cost. Financial aid programs have been established to provide assistance for students with documented financial need. In achieving this goal, the financial aid office must evaluate the student’s or family's financial ability to pay for educational costs in order to distribute limited resources in a fair and equitable manner .
What is Federal Pell Grant?
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to repaid. Federal Pell Grants usually are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree.
Grants start from $750.00 to $7,395.00
