[Natfinwellness] Need-Based Aid - Financial Literacy/Wellness Requirements

[Amanda Gasper]

Hi Bryan,

We have this program (below) that functions out of our Multicultural
Student Services Office. Each semester the Retention specialist and I make
sure there is specific IMC! workshops for these students. They must
complete one IMC! course each academic year in order to fulfill their
requirement and receive their grant disbursement.

Hope that helps in what you are looking for.

Amanda



*Lawton Undergraduate Minority Retention grants*

The Lawton Undergraduate Minority Retention Grant is available to
sophomores, juniors, and seniors (30 credits or more), who have a minimum
cumulative 2.0 grade point average, are United States citizens, and are
Wisconsin residents. Full-time students are eligible for grants up to
$4,000, for up to four years or 8 semesters (preferably consecutive) based
on financial need. Students must complete 24 credits during the academic
year to continue to be qualified for the Lawton Undergraduate Minority

You can apply for a Lawton Grant if you are African-American, Latino/a,
American Indian, or a Southeast Asian American student of Vietnamese,
Cambodian, Laotian, or Hmong heritage. (For full consideration, a financial

Hi All --



I hope that everyone is doing well and that you enjoyed the holiday break
this week!



I had a quick question -- do any institutions require students receiving
institutional (read not federal) need based aid to undergone financial
literacy/wellness requirements?  If so, how is that requirement structured
and enforced?



Thank you for any assistance that you can provide!



Bryan
