After all documentation has been received by the Financial Aid Office, your file will be reviewed to determine eligibility for financial aid. Then, a Financial Aid Notification letter will be sent indicating what aid you are eligible to receive, and your loans will be certified by the Financial Aid Office. If for some reason you are not eligible to receive financial aid, a denial letter will be sent to you indicating why. Institutional Aid CGU awards fellowship aid on the basis of merit to support distinguished students in their degree programs. The University may also consider financial need in addition to merit criteria in awarding fellowships.
Aid is awarded to selected students by the Provost on the recommendation of department faculty.
Most frequently awarded institutional support is granted in the form of a tuition fellowship, although some stipends and assistantships are awarded. Most awards are for partial tuition fellowships and are very competitive. Fellowships are typically granted for the duration of a student's current degree program, as long as the student maintains continuous enrollment and satisfactory progress. Students must complete the appropriate application each year. New students desiring fellowships should complete the appropriate form in the University's admissions application packet.
