Louisville is offering more aid to Kentucky students with an expanded scholarship aimed at removing financial barriers.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Cardinal Commitment Grant was previously offered only to Pell-eligible students, offering financial support for first-time students from the state of Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the university announced it is offering two versions of the Cardinal Commitment Grant to expand access for students who might not otherwise be eligible.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinal Commitment Grant Need-Based Aid offers a $1,000 to $5,000 award to incoming freshmen with a 3.25 GPA who have been admitted to UofL and demonstrated financial need on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Cardinal Commitment Grant 100% tuition coverage is offered to freshmen who meet the same requirements and are eligible for a Pell Grant based on the FAFSA.<\/p>\n<p>If all needs are met, the students will receive the award each semester until their Bachelor\u2019s degree is earned.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible students are asked to apply to UofL by May 1 to be considered for the grant.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the grant can be found at the
