Grants

Federal Grants

The federal government provides grants for students attending college. Most types of grants, unlike loans, are sources of financial aid that generally do not have to be repaid. Federal and state grants are available to those who complete the FAFSA and qualify on a need basis.


A Federal Pell Grant is an award to help undergraduate students pay for their education after high school. For many students, Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources may be added. Eligibility for the Pell Grant is determined by completion of the FAFSA.

The FSEOG is for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who are also Pell Grant recipients. Although federal guidelines state that grants of up to $4,000 per year may be awarded, most grants range from $500 to $1,000 per year because of limited funds at Asbury University.

The TEACH Grant provides funds to students who are completing or who plan to complete coursework that is required to begin a career in teaching, and who agree to teach full-time for at least four years:

  • As a highly qualified teacher;
  • at a school or Educational Service Agency (ESA) servicing low-income students; and
  • in a high-need field.

The four years of teaching must be completed within eight years after you complete or otherwise cease to be enrolled in the program for which you received a TEACH Grant. This teaching requirement is known as your TEACH Grant service obligation.

To be considered for this grant, you must complete the FAFSA, be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, be enrolled in coursework that is necessary to begin a career in teaching or plan to complete such course work, meet certain academic achievement requirements, sign a TEACH Grant Agreement To Serve (ATS), and complete TEACH Grant Entrance Counseling.

Full details about TEACH Grant.

State Grants

State governments may provide grants for students attending college. Most types of grants, unlike loans, are sources of financial aid that generally do not have to be repaid.


  • Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG)* is available to Kentucky residents who demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA. To be eligible, a student must be enrolled full-time at an eligible private Kentucky college or university. For more information see KHEAA website.
  • College Access Program (CAP) Grant* is available to Kentucky residents who are enrolled at least half-time at a Kentucky college or university and whose Expected Family Contribution (EFC), as determined by the FAFSA. For more information see KHEAA website.

*Please note that these funds are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to file your FAFSA as soon after October 1 as possible for optimum consideration.

  • Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) is money earned by Kentucky students who attended and graduated from a certified Kentucky high school. The amount earned is based on grade point average and ACT score. Students must achieve a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA at the end of the freshman year and a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA at the end of subsequent years to retain their full award.

For more information on Kentucky grants and scholarships, visit the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority at KHEAA website.

Contact the educational agency in your state for information on state grants and any filing deadlines.
