FEDERAL STUDENT AID PROGRAMS

Federal Pell Grant

This grant is to help a student pay for education after high school. The actual amount received depends on the Student Aid Report eligibility index, whether full-time or part-time, the length of enrollment, and the cost of education.

Federal Work Study

The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) provides funds for on-campus jobs to students who need financial aid. This money will help pay educational expenses. Students are awarded FWS funds according to their assessed need and availability of jobs.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

This grant is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need, and it does not have to be paid back.

A “priority deadline” of April 1st has been established for selection of recipients. Students who submit required documents by that date will be considered for FSEOG awards.

Federal Stafford Loan

Federal Stafford Loans are low-interest loans made to the student by a lender such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association to help pay for his/her college education.
