State University under the Educational
Opportunity Program. Eligibility for this
grant is determined by criteria similar to that

Admission to the university through the EOP

or remain in an institution of higher educa-tion.
Funds are limited and range from $200
to $1,000 for the academic year.
California State University Grant. This is a
need-based program for California residents,
providing financial support to students. Eligi-bility

similar but not limited to that which governs
federal financial aid programs.
Federal Pell Grant. The Federal Pell Grant
Program is a program of student financial
aid authorized by Title IV, Part A, of the
Education Amendments of 1972. This
program provides grants for some credential
programs and for all eligible undergraduate
students to assist them in meeting educa-tional
costs. Program regulations change
from year to year.
ACG. Academic Competitiveness Grant
(ACG) is a federally funded grant and, thus,

secondary school curriculum, receipt of a
Federal Pell Grant, full-time enrollment in

or fourth academic year of study majoring in
certain physical, life, or computer sciences;
engineering, technology, mathematics; or
critical foreign languages; and who have at
least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Student Loan.
The Federal Stafford Program enables stu-dents
with financial need to secure loans for
the payment of educational expenses. Avail-able
to undergraduates and graduates, the
Federal Stafford Loan is a federally subsidized
(and insured) program, offered in conjunc-tion
with lending institutions (banks, credit
unions, savings and loan associations, etc.).
Undergraduates who qualify may borrow
up to $2,625 per year as freshmen, $3,500
for second-year students, $5,500 per year as
juniors, seniors, or credential students, up to
a $23,000 maximum. Graduate students who
qualify may borrow up to $8,500 per year
to a $65,500 maximum (includes indebted-ness
incurred as an undergraduate). Simple
interest, at a variable rate of up to 8.25%, is
charged at repayment. Repayment begins six
months after students graduate, leave school,
or cease attending at least half-time. (Since
interest rates, repayment periods, etc. have
changed over the years, students are advised
to contact their lender for more precise
information.) The federal government pays
the interest until the student borrower enters
the loan repayment period.
Teacher Education Assistance for College
and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant
Program. This program provides up to
$4,000 a year in grant assistance to students
who plan on becoming teachers and who
meet certain specified requirements. If a

under the William D. Ford Federal Direct
Loan Programs.

The following non-need-based programs are
administered by our Financial Aid Office.

minus other aid for each dependent child
enrolled at least half-time. Applications and
information are available at the Financial Aid
Office and at the Web site at http://studentaf-fairs.

program is open to students who may not
meet need-based requirements of the Federal
Stafford Loan or who may qualify for only
a partial Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan.
Terms and conditions are similar to the sub-sidized
Stafford, except that the borrower is
responsible for interest which accrues during
the in-school period.
CSU Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Pro-gram.
The largest program of its kind in
the nation, the CSU Chancellor’s Doctoral
Incentive Program is designed to increase
the pool of individuals who show promise
of becoming strong candidates for California
State University instructional faculty posi-tions.
The program provides loans of up to
$10,000 per year up to a total of $30,000
