You may qualify for four major sources of financial assistance: - A scholarship is awarded based on factors such as your academic achievement, character, leadership, enrollment in certain academic majors, participation in certain student or co-curricular activities, ministry or other criteria particular to a specific scholarship. You do not repay scholarship aid; therefore, you are encouraged to seek scholarship consideration from local agencies that offer scholarships to students. Your high school guidance counselor should have a list of local scholarships.
- A grant is generally based upon an evaluation of your financial need (and therefore is called need-based aid), and may come from federal, state or college sources. Like scholarships, grants are not repaid.
- A loan for educational expenses is an option if you are eligible or if your parents qualify. A loan must be repaid, but your repayment begins only when you cease to be enrolled at least half-time, and favorable interest rates apply.
-
- Student employment includes part-time jobs arranged by the college, usually on campus and in conjunction with your course schedule. A number of off-campus positions are also available through the community service program funded through the Federal Work Study Program.
You should carefully review our listing of federal, state and college scholarships, grants, loans and employment opportunities to determine which ones you wish to consider.
