Loans and Grants
Federal Grant Program
The Federal Grant Program is designed to assist undergraduate students who desire to continue their education beyond high school. Every student is entitled to apply for a Federal Pell Grant. Eligibility is determined by a standard U.S. Department of Education formula, which uses family size, income and resources to determine need. The actual amount of the award is based upon the cost of attendance, enrollment status and the amount of money appropriated by Congress to fund the program. The Federal Pell Grant makes it possible to provide a foundation of financial aid to help defray the cost of a postsecondary education. Unlike loans, the Federal Pell Grant does not usually have to be paid back.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The FSEOG is a grant program for undergraduate students with exceptional need with priority given to students with Federal Pell Grant eligibility. The Federal government allocates FSEOG funds to participating schools. This is a limited pool of funds and the school will determine to whom and how much it will award based on Federal guidelines. Often, due to limited funding, FSEOG award resources are exhausted early in the year.
Federal Stafford Loan Program
Stafford loans, available through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), are low-interest loans that are made to the student by a lender, such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association. The loan must be used to pay for direct and/or indirect educational expenses. Subsidized loans are need based while unsubsidized loans are not. Repayment begins six months after the student graduates, withdraws from school or falls below half-time enrollment status.
Federal Parent Loan (PLUS)
The Federal Parent PLUS loan, is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students. These loans are not based on need but when combined with other resources cannot exceed the student's cost of education. A credit check is required and either or both parents may borrow through this program. Repayment begins within 60 days of final disbursement of the loan within a loan period.
