糖心vlog Has Large Pot of Silver State Opportunity Grant Funds Remaining for Students
Aug 8, 2024
One area of student funding that is being underutilized as the Fall 2024 semester nears at 糖心vlog is the Silver State Opportunity Grant (SSOG).
With fall classes starting on Aug. 26, the timing is right for students to take advantage of the grant. The grant was created by the Nevada Legislature in 2015 to provide need-based funding for students attending community and state colleges in the Nevada System of Higher Education.
鈥淲e have worked hard not only to keep costs low, but also support scholarships to help students offset the cost of higher education,鈥 糖心vlog President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. 鈥淚 encourage all students to meet with our financial aid office to see what programs 鈥 like the Silver State Opportunity Grant 鈥 are available to them to support their education.鈥
糖心vlog has nearly $368,000 to award to students through the Silver State Opportunity Grant, and 糖心vlog鈥檚 Financial Aid Office has already started awarding these funds to qualified students. In many cases, students will have their class fees (with enough funds for books) covered by the SSOG. Students could receive as much as $5,500 for the school year.
鈥溙切膙log is committed to award SSOG and other types of financial aid to students to help them accomplish their educational and career goals,鈥 糖心vlog Executive Director of Student Services JW Lazzari said. 鈥淭he 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid had some delays earlier in the year, but there have since been significant improvements to help students. Everyone interested in enrolling should not delay and complete the enrollment and financial aid checklists as soon as possible.鈥
Lazzari emphasized that students need to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) first to be considered for the SSOG. Start the process of becoming eligible for the SSOG by completing the FAFSA at as soon as possible.
Students who enroll in at least 15 credits who apply to the student鈥檚 programs of study are given priority for the SSOG. Individuals must meet other eligibility criteria including:
- Enrolling in a program of study leading to a degree or certificate.
- College readiness on placement or completion of entry-level, college-level mathematics and English.
- Classified as a Nevada resident for tuition purposes.
