During Fall term, the financial aid staff offers workshops to provide students with updated information for the next year s application. In addition to federal programs, you should apply for private scholarships. Scholarship information is available in the Financial Aid Office. You should also apply to hometown organizations and clubs that give scholarships. Students receiving aid from state and federal sources are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward graduation.
Federal regulations require satisfactory progress standards.
If you run into financial difficulty during the year, it may be possible to get a short-term emergency loan from the Financial Aid Office. These loans are due within 30 days and do include a service fee. Students cannot take multiple emergency loans out during the year. If you continue to run into financial difficulty, it is a budgeting issue and sources beyond the emergency loan option need to be examined. All loans are dependent on available funds and the discretion of the Financial Aid Office.
