Financial Aid

Excited to start your education, but worried about tuition? There are several financial aid options to those who qualify. Learn more below about the kinds of aid, eligibility criteria and process for applying for the aid.

Who qualifies for aid?

Students may be eligible to receive financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college or career school. While your income is taken into consideration, it does not automatically prevent you from receiving federal student aid.

Funding Options

Check out the different funding options below.

Federal Pell Grant

What’s a Grant?

 

A grant is a form of financial aid that doesn’t have to be repaid (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund).

 

The Federal Pell Grant program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain post-baccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education.

 

A FAFSA or Federal Application for Federal Student aid must be completed at www.studentaid.gov to apply for all federal aid.

Federal Subsidized Loans

Federal Subsidized Loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. Your school determines the amount you can borrow, and the amount may not exceed your financial need. The U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on a Direct Subsidized Loan while you’re in school at least half-time, for the first six months after you leave school, and during a period of deferment.

Federal Unsubsidized Loans

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans are available to undergraduate and graduate students; there is no requirement to demonstrate financial need. Your school determines the amount you can borrow based on your cost of attendance and other financial aid you receive. You are responsible for paying the interest on a Direct Unsubsidized Loan during all periods.

Plus Loans

PLUS loans are federal loans that parents of dependent undergraduate students can use to help pay for college or career school. PLUS loans can help pay for education expenses not covered by other financial aid.
