HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Free College Benefit is a last dollar scholarship that fills the gap between the cost of tuition, fees and e-books at Eastern Gateway Community College and any federal, state or employer education grants for which you are eligible. It is a type of financial aid so students must comply with federal, state, and college academic and financial aid policies, which can be found on the EGCC website. In order to determine the amount of your scholarship, students first apply for and use any federal student aid awarded through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Even if it’s determined that you are not eligible for any grants, AFSCME/CCPU-PA’s last dollar scholarship has you covered. It will still be applied to your remaining balance for tuition, fees and e-books.
