The exact amount of each academic year's award is determined by the amount appropriated for the program by the Virginia General Assembly and the total number of eligible applicants.
The estimated TAG award for the 2007-2008 academic year is $3,200 for undergraduate students and $1,900 for graduate students. This means that students at the undergraduate level could receive approximately $13,000 over four years!
Bona fide residents of Virginia who are full-time undergraduate or graduate students enrolled at eligible private colleges in Virginia are eligible for TAG. All members of the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV) are eligible colleges.
