An additional application is available for Federal Work-Study and student loans. Per Federal Default Management Guidelines, to receive any type of student loan, you must complete six credit hours at Prairie State College with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average. If you receive a grade of I, F, W or Audit, you have not completed the course. You may take a maximum of 90 credit hours to be eligible for financial aid. This includes credit hours transferred to Prairie State College from other institutions.
Academic progress is reviewed each semester.
All students applying for financial aid must be pursuing a degree or certificate. Short-term certificate courses do not qualify for federal or state financial programs. See schedule for specific programs. Financial aid advisers are available to assist you with financial planning. To receive help in completing financial aid forms, call 709-3523 for an appointment.
