Vermont and Maryland Grants
Students who are residents of these states may receive these grants. Amounts vary. Please check with your State Department of Education.
Elon University Programs
In addition to the numerous federal and state programs, the university offers its own need-based assistance. Funds for these programs are provided directly by the university as well as through donations and gifts to the university by many individuals, businesses and foundations. All students who apply for need-based aid and who demonstrate need are automatically considered for these funds.
Institutional Grants
University grants are based solely on demonstrated need. Amounts vary in accordance with need.
