Grants

Grants are money awarded to students who demonstrate financial need. This money is applied to the students’ educational expenses and need never be repaid.

Students have opportunities to qualify for the following grants:

Federal Pell Grant
A grant that a student may apply for each year the student is an undergraduate. The federal government determines the maximum yearly amount.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) 
A grant that students may apply for in the first year of their program. The maximum annual amount for this grant is $4,000.

Student State Incentive Grant (SSIG) 
A grant program administered through the students' state of residence. It is the state that determines eligibility and the transportability of the grant. Not all states participate in the SSIG program, so students should contact their local authorities. Currently Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont participate with Ohio Technical College.

Julius A. Brenner Founders Grant 
An OTC grant that is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. The maximum amount is $1,500 and is awarded during the students’ program.
