Students are employed on campus by a variety of departments and offices, with the typical student working approximately 8 to 10 hours per week. Presidential and University Scholarships are available to students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher and a minimum SAT or ACT score. After enrolling, you may contact the Office of Financial Aid. There are many private scholarships available. The public library is an excellent source for private funds.
Most scholarships require an application, an essay, and the student's grade point average.
Applications for those who wish to enroll may be secured from the Office of Admissions. The U.S. Department of Education mandates institutions of higher education to establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress for students receiving financial aid. In definition, satisfactory academic progress means that the student is proceeding in a positive manner toward fulfilling degree or certification requirements. Requests for financial assistance for the upcoming academic year will be reviewed for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of each academic year to insure that students are meeting both the qualitative and quantitative measures, and have not reached the maximum time frame. Students not meeting these standards are notified in writing that their eligibility for aid is terminated effective with the upcoming academic year.
