The College Scholarship Assistance Program (CSAP) is a statewide need-based undergraduate grant program established in 1973 to assist students with extreme financial need in Virginia's public and participating private colleges and universities. The Commonwealth combines state appropriations with the Federal Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) to fund the program.
Eligibility
A completed application for need-based aid must be filed with a participating institution. To be considered for a CSAP award, the student must:
Be admitted into a Virginia public two or four year college or university, or a participating Virginia private non-profit four year college or university;
* Be enrolled at least half-time in an approved degree, certificate, or diploma program;
* Be a citizen or eligible non-citizen of the U.S.;
* Be a domiciliary resident of Virginia as defined by the Code of Virginia §23-7.4;
* Not have received assistance for more than the normal length of time required to complete the particular undergraduate degree program in which the student is enrolled;
* Meet the satisfactory progress standards of the institution for federal student aid programs;
* Have a computed Expected Family Contribution that is less than one-half of the total cost of attendance;
* Meet all federal requirements set forth in federal laws and regulations which apply to Title IV Programs (1965 Higher Education Act, as amended; see below); and
* Not be enrolled in a program leading to a second associate or bachelor degree.
