Are graduate students eligible for state-funded financial aid programs?
• Most state-funded financial aid programs are only available for undergraduate students. The Jos Mart Scholarship Challenge Grant Fund is available to graduate students who meet program eligibility requirements; however, undergraduates receive priority funding. • Bright Futures Scholarship recipients who graduate with a baccalaureate degree, in the 2010-11 academic year or after, in seven or fewer semesters (or the equivalent in credit hours) and wish to pursue graduate study may apply the unused portion of their FAS or FMS awards toward one semester of graduate study, not to exceed 15 semester hours paid at the undergraduate rate.
