SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY
Opportunity Scholarship (Carlsbad and New York On Campus)
GIA's Opportunity scholarship is a need-and program-based award available for students who wish to enroll in an on-campus program. Eligible recipients of the Opportunity Scholarship will be awarded varying amounts up to $15,000.00 depending on the program and calculated need. This benefit, in combination with any federal and state financial aid, employer tuition assistance, and student income the recipient is eligible for, cannot exceed the cost of tuition, fees, and books. Awards are credited directly to the financial accounts of recipients. The number of scholarships disbursed depends upon the availability of allocated funds.
A GIA scholarship application is not required for the Opportunity Scholarship; however, it is required you file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) application. If eligible, our Financial Assistance team will assist with awarding.
Military Scholarship (Carlsbad, New York, and Online)
GIA's Military scholarship is designed to reduce tuition expenses for veteran or active duty members and their dependent family members whose benefits do not cover the cost of tuition, fees, and books.

There is no application required for the Military Scholarship; however, it is required you file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) application. If you meet the eligibility criteria, our Scholarship team will work with you to award the scholarship. The veteran or active duty member needs to provide a copy of their DD-214 or appropriate service verification document, along with a statement that this is provided to substantiate their spouse or dependent qualifies for the scholarship.
