Pell Grant Match Scholarship

Pell Grant Match Scholarship at CIAT

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. This scholarship is not intended to replace federal and state financial aid, employer tuition assistance, or student income. This financial need scholarship will only be used to help fund up to the last few courses in a student’s academic degree program, helping bridge the gap to degree completion. Concurrent receipt of this scholarship and Chapter 30, Chapter 31, Chapter 33, Chapter 35 or Active Duty Tuition Assistance is not allowed. This scholarship will be applied evenly in the last two semesters in the program. Applicants must submit a 500-word essay and required documentation using the application form below:

  • Be registered in a bachelor’s degree program
  • Show proof of exhausted benefits/loans
  • Show proof of funding gap during the financial consultation

Applicants must also submit a 500-word personal statement covering the following:

  • Why did you select Technology as your career?
  • How is CIAT going to help you achieve your personal and career goals?
  • Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
