The University of Montana Financial Aid Office provides the most substantial financial assistance in the form of Perkins Loans, authorization for work-study employment, certification for Stafford Student Loans and loans through national loan programs for legal education such as Law Access or Law Loans . Review the SAR for any missing data and retain it for your files. Corrections should be entered on the SAR and returned to the processor. All aid applicants must provide financial aid transcripts to the Financial Aid Office from each post-secondary school attended, whether or not financial aid was received from those schools. Financial aid applicants may be required to provide verification of financial status by submitting copies of income tax forms and a verification worksheet.
Financial aid awarding usually occurs during midsummer.
The Financial Aid Office provides information regarding loan sources with the award package. These loan sources include information regarding Law Access and Law Loans, which are traditional sources of loans for law students. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average to remain eligible for financial aid. During the warning semester the student needs to pass 12 credits with a 2.0 for the semester or they are excluded from further financial aid. The student remains on financial aid warning until the cumulative GPA becomes a 2.0 or higher.
