TOP Grant
Application Requirements
To be eligible for a TOP grant, you must meet five eligibility
criteria:
- be a first year student,
which means a student who has earned, completed, or received no more
than 18 postsecondary credits after graduating from high school or completing
a Wisconsin High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) or GED. Students
who earn more than 18 postsecondary credits while still in high school
by participation in programs such as Youth Options are eligible. Students
who earn more than 18 credits while serving active duty in the U.S.
armed services are eligible.
|
- be a graduate of a Wisconsin
high school or a recipient of a Wisconsin GED, which means having graduated
within three years from a Wisconsin public or private high school or
receiving a High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) or a certificate
of GED completion from the Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction.
- be enrolled full time, which
means enroll in and complete at least 12 program credits per semester,
for the entire semester in any associate degree or one- or two-year
technical diploma program excluding college parallel. Students who have
documented disabilities may be eligible if enrolled in six program credits.
- be enrolled in an associate
degree or vocational diploma program, which means enrolled in either
an occupational associate degree or a one- or two-year technical diploma
program. Enrollment in an apprenticeship that meets the full-time enrollment
and appropriate program requirements is also eligible.
- maintain at least a 2.0
grade point average, which means maintaining at least a 2.0 GPA per
semester while at the technical college. This is not a cumulative GPA.
