All undergraduate students are eligible to apply for Pell Grant assistance. Student eligibility is based on financial need and is determined by a formula that is applied consistently to all applicants. The formula has been developed by the U. S. Department of Education and is reviewed by Congress on an annual basis. A Stafford Loan is a low interest loan available from lenders such as banks, credit unions, or savings and loan associations to help with educational expenses. Loan repayment begins six months after the student ceases to be at least a half-time student.
Applications are available in the financial aid office.
Individuals who are not eligible for a Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan could possibly apply for an Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan. Information pertaining to these loans is available in the financial aid office. Summer enrollment will be evaluated as one semester. Full-time students must successfully complete, as a minimum, the hours of credit indicated in the table. Less than full-time enrollment will be evaluated proportionately.
