We know that this is not an easy time for anyone. We recognize that the current situation may have caused unanticipated financial challenges for our students. We are thinking about all of you and how we can help you through this time. GGU has multiple financial resources available to students during this trying time, including emergency grants and scholarships.
GGU, through funding from the federal government, has established a fund to assist with exceptional need related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Emergency grants will be provided in accordance with the policy and guidance from the US Department of Education. The emergency grant amount will be determined by the types of exceptional need such as loss of employment (either for yourself and/or your families), reduced income, or food and housing insecurity. GGU is committed to assisting as many students as possible. However, funding is limited, and some requests may be denied. Grant amounts vary between $500 to $1500.
Spring 2022 applications will be accepted from January 3, 2022 through March 31, 2022. Applicants will receive a response within two weeks of submitting the request. Approved requests are funded during the fifth week of the term. Applications received after the fifth week are typically funded within two weeks of receipt. Funds will be provided via direct deposit. Please ensure your banking information is up-to-date in your myGGU portal.
GGU is offering an extended payment plan for those students who need it. For more information, email: sas@ggu.edu.
Federal Aid, grants and/or loans are available to US Citizens or eligible permanent residents to assist students with their tuition, books and living/housing expenses, regardless of their income. The application process is easy and can be completed online.
