A spouse or widowed person of disabled veterans meeting the above criteria may also apply.
• Be high school or GED graduates, current undergraduate or graduate level students enrolled in full-time undergraduate (first Associates or Bachelor’s) or graduate (first Master’s degree) study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.
• Have completed the FAFSA to ensure full discovery of actual unmet need.
