I am so grateful to receive the Tuition Equalization Grant. I can honestly say that I don't think going to college would be possible without it. Money is hard to come by, and TEG is necessary for me to successfully complete and graduate from college in order to excel in life. http://www.sitemason.com/files/jKYoJa/teg%20student%20quote.JPG/main.jpg http://www.georgiacolleges.org/media/did-you-know/2013/03/20/what-teg-means-to-students.593144 http://www.georgiacolleges.org/media/did-you-know/2013/03/20/what-teg-means-to-students.593144 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:30:00 CDT Did You Know? TEG helps me attend college. In this tough economy, even a difference of a few hundred dollars could reduce my chances of a college education. I depend on PELL, TEG, and work-study to help me fund my college education. http://www.sitemason.com/files/gtWHGo/FOW%20TEG%20QUOTE.JPG/main.jpg http://www.georgiacolleges.org/media/did-you-know/2013/03/20/what-teg-means-to-students.593143 http://www.georgiacolleges.org/media/did-you-know/2013/03/20/what-teg-means-to-students.593143 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:28:00 CDT Did You Know?
