    Understanding the Types of Financial Aid

    Financial Aid is available in the form of federal, state, and institutional grants, scholarships and loans. Click each section below to explore detailed information about each type of aid programs available for students and families at Morehouse College.

    • Grants

      Grants are funds that do not require repayment.

      A grant is a monetary gift for people pursuing higher education. It is often based on financial need and does not need to be repaid (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund). Federal and State Grant aid is determined by the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

      Examples of these programs consist of: Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) and Georgia College Completion Grant (GCCG).
    • Institutional Scholarship Opportunities

      We offer newly admitted and returning Morehouse students scholarship opportunities to support their academic and career goals.

      OUR SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

      Investing in a Morehouse College education is a step toward future success. Our legacy of cultivating exceptional leaders starts in the classroom, where distinguished men gather to learn, grow, and unlock their potential to make a global impact. Through challenging academic programs and life-changing experiences, our scholars are inspired to strive for excellence in their studies and careers.

    • Loans

      Borrowed funds from federal government or outside lending agencies

      The U.S. Department of Education, along with other external lending agencies, offers educational loans to help cover educational expenses. Certain loan programs require a credit check and have minimum enrollment criteria.



    • Work Study

      MOREHOUSE COLLEGE FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM (FWS)

      Federal Work-Study program at Morehouse College provides part-time jobs for our students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study. We understand that financing your education can be a challenge, and we are committed to helping you achieve your academic goals. The Federal Work-Study Program is designed to provide you with an opportunity to earn a portion of your financial aid by working in an approved on-campus job. Students are awarded Federal Work-Study funding up to their Cost of Attendance. Funding is limited as approved by the U.S. Department of Education.



    • External Scholarship Opportunities

      APPLY FOR EXTERNAL SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

      There are many scholarship opportunities that do not involve Morehouse College directly. These are considered outside scholarships. To locate outside scholarships, you may want to contact your high school guidance counselor, local civic organizations (i.e., Rotary, Lions, etc.), religious groups, places of employment, and the web.
