Relocation Grant Overview

Objective

To assist students who show financial need enrolled at UTI/MMI/NASCAR Technical Institute, who will relocate to attend school, or will be commuting, from at least 50 miles (one way). The grant will support enrolled students with the greatest financial need who face a hardship starting their education.

This grant is available for students starting school in October, November or December of 2018, who live, or are relocating from, at least 50 miles from the campus they are attending. This grant is available to help cover the expense of relocation, or commuting back and forth to school each day, up to a maximum of $1000. This grant will be awarded to all students who meet the eligibility criteria; there is no separate application process.

For students utilizing Collegiate Housing Services (CHS) Shared Housing Program, the grant will be paid directly to CHS to cover service fee, deposit and first month’s rent.

Criteria for Awarding the Scholarship:

Eligibility will be based on proximity to the campus* and financial need as determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) calculated by the US Dept. of Education as a result of a student completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who enroll more than 30 days prior to their start date, have an EFC of $3,000 or less, and who have a proximity* to the campus of at least 50 miles will be eligible for the grant.

Eligibility Details:

  • Students will forfeit their grant eligibility and/or award if they cancel or postpone beyond the latest applicable start date.
  • Students who receive this grant will maintain eligibility for any other UTI grants, scholarships or tuition discounts they have received or would otherwise be eligible to receive.
  • Eligibility will be based on the approved FAFSA results sent to the school, called an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) that is on file for the 2019 financial aid award year. An approved ISIR meeting the EFC criteria must be received by the school no later than 9 days following the student’s start date to be considered eligible.
  • A student’s proximity to the campus will be based on the address provided at the time the student initially provided their information to the school.
  • The following campuses/programs are not participating in this specific grant program:
    • Non-participating programs: All Welding programs
    • The 10/1/18 start date for the MMI Orlando Marine program is not eligible for this grant program.
