Ability to Benefit Financial Aid Program

The Ability to Benefit grant funded program will allow eligible students without a high school diploma or recognized equivalent to enter postsecondary education in a Career Pathway program and become eligible to receive future federal financial aid.

The objective of the capacity building for the Ability to Benefit initiative is to implement activities that develop institutional capacity to recruit, enroll and serve students without a high school credential in eligible Career Pathways programs and to fast-track student access to Pell grant financial aid.
