The Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) provides grants to States that can be used in financial assistance programs to help support eligible postsecondary students.

Every State receives a portion of the funds designated by the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership. The number of funds is based on the number of students in the state are considered eligible to share in the program when compared to the number of qualified students in all States. This is dedicated to students enrolled in postsecondary institutions and have substantial and proven financial need.
