Although federal funds are perhaps the most evident, state and local government, private business and industry, student and community organizations, and York College itself make significant contributions to the financial aid programs which are made available to students requiring assistance. No single source of funds could possibly be adequate to meet the needs of all worthy applicants. Rather, it takes the cooperation of all parties to make the post-secondary education accessible to all who can benefit from the experience. They must also be making sufficient academic progress toward the degree as outlined in the York College Catalog and student handbook. Students must be attending, or planning to attend, on a full-time basis in order to be eligible for most types of financial aid.
Students attending on a half-time basis are eligible for aid from several federal programs.
Please make reference to the Financial Aid Programs section for information pertaining to those programs. Most of the financial aid awarded by York College is based upon financial need. There are a number of scholarships available based upon a student's academic achievement in high school. Information on those scholarships is listed in the Financial Aid Programs section and is also available from the College Financial Aid Office. York College does not offer athletic scholarships.
