The eligibility is based upon financial need. To be considered to have financial need, an applicant's income must meet or be below a standard level. This level is dependent upon the applicant's living arrangement and the size of their family. ABESAP funding is also dependent on successfully completing previously funded courses. ABESAP application forms are available from the Financial Aid Office.
