CIAT will match the amount students would have qualified for in Pell Grants, with the award funds being equivalent for programs eligible for Title IV funding. CIAT’s new Pell Grant Match Scholarship is considered a “last funding” scholarship and is designed for students enrolling in upper division bachelor’s degree programs to supplement military educational benefits or loans when those funding benefits are exhausted.
