General Financial Aid Elegibility Requirements

In addition to demonstrating financial need through completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you must also meet the general eligibility requirements as stated below. Financial need is the difference between the cost of the college and the amount you can contribute to this cost as determined by the information you (and your parents) submit on the FAFSA.

General Elegibility Requirements:

Must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program of study
Must be pursuing a degree, certificate, or other recognized credential
Must be a US citizen or eligible non-citizen
Must be registered with the Selective Service (if male and required to do so)
May have eligibility suspended or terminated due to a drug-related conviction
Must have a valid Social Security number
May not be in default on a federal student loan
May not owe repayment of a federal grant
Must be making satisfactory academic progress as defined by the school

Application forms are available in the Financial Aid Office (Room 1230.) Because application procedures, deadlines, eligibility regulations and refund policies vary with different types of student aid programs, interested students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office at their earliest opportunity. Students should allow six to eight weeks for processing most financial aid applications. Students are encouraged to apply for assistance at any time. In general, the fall semester marks the beginning of the financial aid award year.
