It is the policy
of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office to first award all grant or
scholarship aid for which a student may be eligible. If a student still
has an unmet need or the student is not eligible for any grants or
scholarships, either loans or Work-Study, or a combination thereof, will
be awarded according to the student's preference as indicated on the
FAFSA. If a student is not eligible for any federal or state aid including
subsidized loans or work study, the student may apply for an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Additionally, parents of
dependent students may apply for a Plus Loan . Applications are available in the
Financial Aid and Scholarship Office
Students who prefer working rather than applying for a
loan, or who need to work as well as borrow loan funds, may be interested
in the Federal
Work Study Program. Jobs are available both on and
off campus.
Awards are generally based on scholastic achievement and
financial need. All students are encouraged to apply for as many
scholarships as possible, to lessen their need for loans or part time work
to attend school.
