The First Generation Matching Grant Program is a need-based financial aid program supported with both institutional and state funding.<\/p>\n

First Generation students can apply for various First Generation Matching Grants via Access to Opportunities (A2O)<\/a>. By completing the general A2O application and then the general First Generation Matching Grant application, you will be reviewed for eligibility.<\/p>\n

Students will be notified they have been selected for a First Generation Matching Grant via an email to their Å®ÆÍAV Email account by the end of the Spring semester. The selected candidates will have an award posted on their Award Summary. Students will also need to complete the post-acceptance process through A2O.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n

Note:<\/strong> The majority of First Generation Matching Grants are not a renewable award; however, students may be considered each year if they meet the criteria and if funding is available. If a grant is renewable, your eligibility will be reviewed as long as both general applications are on file.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
