What is the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG)?
The Academic Competitiveness Grant is a need-based federal grant for students who complete a rigorous high school program (as determined by the state or local education agency and recognized by the Secretary of Education) and are eligible for the Federal Pell Grant. The ACG program will provide up to $750 for the first year of undergraduate study and up to $1,300 for the second year of undergraduate study. Second-year students must also maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0.
