Iraq-afghanistan Service Grant

Overview

The Iraq-Afghanistan Service Grant is a federal financial aid program designed for students who are not eligible for a Pell Grant based on their Expected Family Contribution but whose parent or guardian died as a result of military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11. This grant provides funds to help cover the costs of postsecondary education for students who meet the specific military service death criteria and other federal eligibility requirements. It ensures that the children of fallen service members have access to higher education funding equivalent to the maximum Pell Grant award amount.
