Financial Aid

Students with an intellectual or developmental disability, who are enrolled in a CTP may receive funding from the Federal Pell Grant.  Pell Grants are awarded based on financial need.  Parent financial information is required for determination until a student is 24.

A CTP program for students with intellectual disabilities means a degree, certificate, or non-degree program that:
  • is offered by a college or career school and approved by the U.S. Department of Education;
  • is designed to support students with intellectual disabilities who want to continue academic, career, and independent living instruction to prepare for gainful employment;
  • offers academic advising and a structured curriculum; and
  • requires students with intellectual disabilities to participate, for at least half of the program, in
    • regular enrollment in credit-bearing courses with nondisabled students,
    • auditing or participating (with nondisabled students) in courses for which the student does not receive regular academic credit,
    • enrollment in noncredit-bearing, non-degree courses with nondisabled students, or
    • internships or work-based training with nondisabled individuals.

 GA Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR)

  • The VR Program may authorize and assist with tuition for Certified Comprehensive Transition Programs for a qualified individual provided at institutions of higher learning. These programs shall be required as part of the student’s individual employment plan to meet the individual’s needs in order to obtain competitive, integrated employment.
  • The VR Program may assist with tuition, required fees, books/supplies and, as appropriate, maintenance (housing and meals) only at an approved institution classified as a Certified Comprehensive Transition Program.  The amount of assistance is “means-tested.”
  • Students must be on the VR caseload and received approval from their counselor based on their employment plan and potential occupation.  To apply for tuition assistance, students must apply for, and present proof of, a completed application for any available comparable benefits, including the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Pell awards must be utilized prior to the authorization of any VR Program funds.
