Federally funded, renewable need-based grant. Awards are made on a funds-available basis to students who demonstrate extreme financial need and who qualify for the Federal Pell Grant.

State Grants

PA State Grant

Renewable, need-based grant for Pennsylvania residents. The FAFSA is the application with a filing deadline of May 1. Estimated eligibility is listed on the award letter. Final determination of the grant amounts is made by PHEAA, who will notify students of their eligibility beginning in mid-May. PHEAA requires completion of an on-line status form prior to final determination of eligibility. You should receive an e-mail from PHEAA in this regard.

In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students (see below for more information on high-need fields and schools serving low-income students). As a recipient of a TEACH Grant, you must teach for at least four academic years within eight calendar years of completing the program of study for which you received a TEACH Grant.

IMPORTANT: If you fail to complete this service obligation, all amounts of TEACH Grants that you received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. You must then repay this loan to the U.S. Department of Education. You will be charged interest from the date the grant(s) was disbursed.

Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you can take along with your required college classes. It prepares you with skills, training, and experience to help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC may also pay for your college tuition. You will have a normal college experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve.

For additional information, please visit the ROTC section on the Financial Aid page, or contact our Military Science Department by phone at (570) 941-7457, fax (570) 941-4340 or e-mail at ROTC@scranton.edu.
