To qualify for financial aid, you must prove that you need assistance. Financial need refers to the difference between the amount you and your family are able to contribute and the overall cost of your education (including tuition, books, supplies, room and board, transportation, and personal expenses).
You must also have obtained a standard high school diploma, a diploma from a state-recognized equivalent home school program, or a GED.
To determine if you qualify for financial aid, you must:
Enroll in an �����������̿������ program that is eligible for federal aid. This includes bachelor degrees, associate degrees, College Credit Certificates that require 16 or more credit hours, and Career and Technical Certificate programs that are 600 clock-hours or more. Search the catalog's program requirements list to check the financial aid eligibility status of every �����������̿������ program to be sure.
Submit an application for financial aid including any required forms you're asked to complete.
You are not eligible to receive student aid if you are in default on a federal or state loan, or if you owe a refund on a grant you received to attend any institution.
