If St. John's is not listed or corrections have been made, the student should sign the SAR and return it to the Department of Education for processing. Standards for federal aid recipients differ from standards for state aid. Federal standards are outlined in St. John's Satisfactory Progress Brochure available at the Office of Financial Aid. The Federal Pell Grant Program is a federal financial aid program providing financial assistance to needy post-secondary school students.
Funding is credited to the student's tuition for each semester.
Students carrying at least 12 credits per semester are considered full-time. When federal funding permits, awards may be made to less than half-time students. Applicants must be either formally accepted for admission or currently in attendance at the university as full or part-time students. Repayment and interest does not begin until nine months after the student leaves school and may extend for over a period of ten years. For further information on deferments and cancellations, please contact the Office of Business Affairs.
