These are need-based awards for Baltimore City public high school graduates whose student aid index and financial aid package total less than the cost to attend college. Students awarded a CollegeBound Foundation Last Dollar Grant are eligible for a renewable grant of up to $3,000 annually. These Grants are gift money that does not have to be repaid.
