## About this scholarship

The GO Grant is Louisiana's main need-based grant, intended for low- and moderate-income students, including nontraditional students, who still have unmet costs after other aid. To qualify, a student must file the FAFSA, receive a Federal Pell Grant, be a Louisiana resident on the date the FAFSA is filed and have remaining financial need after the Student Aid Index and all federal, state and institutional gift aid are subtracted from the cost of attendance. Students must attend an eligible Louisiana institution at least half time, meaning six hours at a semester school. LOSFA gives each college an allocation and the college decides individual awards under its packaging policy, within a current range of $300 to $3,000 a year. Awards are not paid for summer terms. The grant can be renewed as long as the student keeps filing the FAFSA, remains Pell-eligible and still shows unmet need, up to a lifetime limit that mirrors the Pell Grant limit.

## Who can apply

- Residents of: LA
- Education level: Undergraduate
- Must receive a Federal Pell Grant and have remaining need after SAI and all gift aid. At least half-time (6 semester hours). Louisiana resident as of the FAFSA filing date. No summer awards.

## How to apply

File the FAFSA each year. There is no separate GO Grant form; your college's financial aid office decides the award from its state allocation.
