Description
The Georgia College Completion Grant (GCCG) Program provides grant aid to assist eligible students who are within 70% of earning their credential and have an outstanding balance of current term direct charges such as tuition, fees, room, and board. The charges or fines incurred due to actions by a student such as parking tickets, library fines, or late fees are not considered direct charges for the purpose of this grant.
Process
Students do not need to apply for this fund. The Office of Student Financial Aid will automatically award eligible students. Funding for this program is limited and will be awarded until all funds are exhausted.
Amount
Eligible students may receive a lifetime College Completion Grant award of up to $2,500. Funds may only be applied to direct charges owed the University for the term of the award. GCCG funds cannot be used for study abroad or student exchange programs. GCCG funds cannot be issued as a refund. GCCG award amounts will be reduced or canceled if the award results in a refund of any GCCG funds to the student.

- Have a valid, current year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file;
