Paying for College

<p>Hey all!</p>

<p>While filling out the FAFSA today, part of it asked about the nature of the child's high school program in terms of its rigor and then the screen said that child may be eligible for an Academic Competitive Grant. Does anyone know about this and the availability of these funds? It looked as though this grant is available to students qualifying for a Pell Grant. Which my D does.</p>

<p>Thanks any info!</p>
