Thanks to the success of its ongoing fundraising efforts, the University of 易胜博官网 is launching a new program in the fall that guarantees all full-time, first-year 易胜博官网 students receiving federal Pell grants will pay no tuition to attend the university.

Early estimates show that 易胜博官网鈥檚 Granite Guarantee will help 285 first-year students studying on the Durham and Manchester campuses. First-year 易胜博官网 students who receive federal Pell grants in their 易胜博官网 financial aid awards will automatically receive the Granite Guarantee. The commitment remains in place for four years, provided the student is enrolled full-time, remains Pell eligible and makes satisfactory progress toward their degree.

易胜博官网鈥檚 total commitment to low-income 易胜博官网 students is significant. The new program bridges the gap between 易胜博官网 in-state tuition and the student鈥檚 Pell grant, making 易胜博官网 tuition-free for students who qualify for the Granite Guarantee.
