Work Study T.A.P. Financial Aid Planning Applicability Students and their families are considered to be the initial and primary source of funding for education. Financial aid programs are intended to help students pay the difference between the costs of their education and the available total family contribution. Unfortunately, financial aid sources are limited and aid funds may not be available to cover the entire educational expense.
Federal law permits receipt of certain funds only by U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
A permanent resident is issued an unconditional I-151 green card. International applicants must be able to document that they have sufficient support monies available in the United States at the time of application. Financial aid is only available to matriculated students who are enrolled for at least six credits per term and who are in good academic standing. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid well in advance of the upcoming academic year or semester. The Financial Aid staff is eager to assist students in planning personal financial aid packages and can also discuss savings, budgeting and debt management issues.
