BLOCK AWAY AID JUST GOT BETTER!!
Great news for any student who is eligible for need-based aid for a Block Away. A Global Ed proposal to remove the distinction between summer and academic year block away aid has been approved.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
It means that all students who are eligible for need-based aid will considered for aid towards any 2 distinct block-away courses, regardless of timing. No longer are you limited to 1 summer block plus 1 academic year block.
Now, if you wanted to, you could…
- Get aid for a block away 2 summers out of 3 at CC.
- Get aid for 2 different blocks away in the same school year.
- Take a block away in 2024, and know that if a great course is advertised the next year, you still have a 2nd award.
The process for aid is the same, apply to the block away of your choice, get approved, and you are automatically reviewed for aid eligibility. No forms, no additional work for you. Only now, if you have used one block aid award for a block during the year, you can still use the 2nd one for a school year block as well, or if you use one this summer, you can use your other one for next summer if the perfect course appears on the schedule. Two blocks, any blocks, summer or school year. That is the new aid policy, and it means you can pick the block away courses that work for you, regardless of timing.
