MICROGRANTS

The Graduate Success Fund provides micro-grants to our alums so they can persist in school. Micro-grants are small amounts of money to help DPCR alums currently in college pay various bills or fees. At most colleges, students cannot register for the next semester or transfer if they owe money.

Please follow these guidelines if you submit a micro-grant application. Completed applications for eligible alumni are reviewed and subject to an application committee review. Please note that last minute requests will be denied.

Micro-grants can be used for:

Tuition gaps (after all grants, scholarships, and/or loans have been applied)
Textbooks

Applicants Must:

Meet eligibility criteria.
Email Mrs. Ranz proof of enrollment such as an unofficial transcript or a class schedule (for first-semester college students).
Email Mrs. Ranz proof of financial need, such as an account statement or bill.
If a balance is over $5,000 you must enroll in a college sponsored payment plan and email proof to Mrs. Ranz.
Completed applications for eligible alumni are reviewed and subject to an application committee review.

Please note: If you do not email supporting documents, your application will not be processed.

All micro-grant awardees will be expected to maintain required cumulative GPA.
All micro-grant awardees must renew their FAFSA yearly and remain in good standing with federal financial aid guidelines.
If micro-grants are awarded for tuition gaps, a plan should be in place to help cover the tuition gap for future semesters – this does not include microgrants.
Awardees must maintain current contact information with Graduate Success Office and participate in Alumni events.
