The amount awarded is determined on the basis of need and any additional funds or awards received from outside agencies must be reported to the Office of Financial Aid. You are responsible for insuring that your file is complete. The staff of the Office of Financial Aid does not have the time to follow up individually to remind you of missing parts to your application. This procedure should be started in the early spring before the school year for which financial aid is needed. Four weeks should be allowed for processing.
Financial aid is packaged for the academic year.
Aid is therefore distributed in equal amounts at the beginning of each semester unless otherwise indicated. Satisfactory academic progress must be maintained to remain eligible for financial aid.
