Criteria for Determining Aid

The amount of the Pell Grant to be awarded is determined by the “Cost of Attendance,” the SAI, the number of hours of enrollment, and the Pell award published each year by the United States Department of Education. Once the Pell Grant amount has been determined, other campus-based awards such as FSEOG, FEDERAL WORK-STUDY, TPEG, and scholarships may be award-ed. Financial Aid (including scholarships) cannot exceed the limits established by federal regulations and/or Ranger College’s policy.

The campus-based programs have limited funds available, and the majority of the funds are awarded to the neediest applicants who have the earliest completed files. The institution does, however, follow the policy of allocating work-study funds on a per program basis. This means each program at Ranger College—baseball, track, choir, etc.—receives a first-come, first-served allocation. This is done to ensure that all students in all programs have equal and fair access to College’s funding under its allocation criteria.
