Neighborhood Grant Program

For those 25 years of age and older who have been out of school and think that a college diploma is out of reach, Piedmont College has a financial aid program that could put them back on the path to earning a bachelor’s degree through the Neighborhood Grant Program.

For qualified students, the Neighborhood Grant Program will cover 50 percent of tuition during the fall and spring semesters and a prorated amount during the summer semester. To qualify, applicants must live in one of the counties surrounding Piedmont College’s Demorest campus. Applicants must be at least 25 years old by the start of the term and seeking their first bachelor’s degree as commuting students attending Piedmont’s main campus in Demorest.

Since most students are also eligible for financial aid from state and federal programs, many who qualify for the Neighborhood Grant Program can enroll while incurring little to no student loans. The number of students receiving grants is based on available funds, so interested students should apply as soon as possible.

All admissions requirements apply.
