Talent Grants
CDAP receives an allocation from Financial Aid for talent-based grants to attract quality students. The allocation amount to each unit is determined within the College and announced to the units in the end of the fall semester for the upcoming academic year. The units have their own criteria and process for awarding the talent-based grants. Any overspending of a unit's allocation will be the responsibility of the unit to cover. The expenses over the College's allocation are transferred to the College and unit as applicable before the end of the fiscal year.
