Types of Aid


Award Sequence

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

Grants

Most grants are for undergraduate students, but graduate students can receive State University Grants at SJSU.

 

Loans

Four federally regulated loan programs are available to students in financing their education.

Federal Work Study

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.

 

Scholarships

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.

Veterans Benefits

Individuals who have served in the armed forces may be eligible for educational benefits, which may extend to their spouse and their children.

 

Summer Financial Aid 2008

Summer Financial Aid is based on remaining 2007/2008 eligibility and is available for students who currently have financial aid.
