The CCPG offers four different methods for students to qualify:
A student (or parent for dependent applicants) is a current recipient of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or General Assistance/General Relief (GA/GR)
A student (or parent for dependent applicants) has a household size and annual family income that do not exceed the state-designed income standards
