ZELL Miller Grant

Georgia's Zell Miller Grant is available to Georgia residents who are working towards a certificate or diploma. Full-time enrollment is not required and students are not required to graduate from high school with a specific GPA. At the end of each term a minimum 3.5 cumulative postsecondary GPA is required in order to maintain eligibility. The first term of enrollment will be paid retroactively if the student has the required 3.5 cumulative postsecondary GPA at the end of the term. This award covers full tuition. For example, a student enrolled in 15 hours has a tuition charge of $1500.00 because tuition is currently $100.00 per credit hour. The fees are an additional charge of $359.00. The Zell Miller grant will pay for full tuition of $1500.00. The student is responsible for paying for fees and other charges, which may be covered based on additional awarded aid.
