A confidential financial statement of parental income is required for most types of student financial assistance for dependent students. Each student s application for financial assistance is evaluated by a College Financial Assistance Advisor and an appropriate plan is developed. This plan usually includes a combination of more than one type of assistance. Financial assistance awards are estimated following completion of all application procedures and acceptance of the student for admission to the College. A commitment is not made until approved by the United States Department of Education.
Students remain responsible for the charges until approval is received.
Students must maintain good standing and make satisfactory progress according to the academic standards set forth in this catalog. In order to assist in the process of determining eligibility for financial assistance, it is recommended that applicants bring a copy of their most recent federal income tax return to the Financial Assistance Office. If the applicant is currently living at home or was supported by parents during the last year, a copy of the parents' income tax return should be provided to the College. The College reserves the right to withhold transcripts or other student records from students who have defaulted on a student loan. Any remaining funds will be disbursed to students to assist with other costs associated with attendance.
