Academic Standing Onondaga Community College believes that students should not be denied the opportunity to pursue a college education due to financial constraints, and encourages all students to apply for financial aid. As one of the College's student services, the Financial Aid Office exists to serve all students in the best way possible. Needs will be met according to priority and availability of funds.
Aid is available in several forms.
Grants and scholarships may be awarded based on good academic scholarship and need, loans may be approved which must be repaid by the student with interest, and work-study programs can provide work experience while the student pursues a degree or certificate. Various sources may be tapped for financial aid including the federal government, state government and private sources. Students must be at least half-time, matriculated, in good standing and making satisfactory progress to be eligible for financial aid. Students must also be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens, may not be in default or owe a refund for any federal Title IV aid at any institution, and, if applicable, be registered with the Selective Service.
