A grant is money set aside by both the state of Arkansas and the federal government for students who need it to pay for college. The most common federal education grant is the Pell Grant. Education grants do not need to be repaid.
Financial aid packages may include more than one type of award. However, the combined total of all awards must not exceed a student’s cost of attendance (COA). If a student’s financial aid package exceeds his/her COA, awards will be adjusted according to federal, state, and institutional guidelines.
Award letters are sent to the email account that the student provided on their FAFSA. If email is not provided, award letters are mailed to the address provided to UA Cossatot Student Services. By accepting the award letter you are certifying that you understand and accept your rights and responsibilities concerning your financial aid at UAC and agree to them. If you do not accept the award as listed on the award letter you must cross out the unwanted award, sign, date and return the award letter to the UA Cossatot Financial Aid Office.
