It is interesting to note that, every year, around 95% of students at WGTC receive some kind of financial aid. At WGTC, the total percentage of applicants who receive the Federal Grant stands at 83%. On the other hand, 94% of the candidates get the Student Grant, while 83% receive the Pell Grant. And, for the Pell Grant awardees, the average aid amount is $5,488. The annual family income of a candidate is one of the key factors in determining their total eligibility for financial aid. Alternatively, the candidates can also avail of monetary benefits like student loans, apart from financial grants and scholarship schemes to pay for their studies. In contrast to grants and scholarships, student loans are taken by the candidates at a certain rate of interest. While grants and scholarship schemes do not require repayment, student loans should be repaid by the applicants within a given period. At Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, the percentage of candidates who opt to avail of student loans is around 2%.
