STUDENT AID

Eligibility for federal student aid is based on financial need and on several other factors. There is a free application for student aid. The student financial aid administrator at the college or career school you plan to attend will determine your eligibility for student aid.

You must

• Qualify for financial need (except for certain loans) to receive student aid

• Have a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) certificate, pass a test approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and meet other standards your state establishes that the Department approves, or complete a high school education in a home school setting that is treated as such under state law.

• Be working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program.

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, otherwise you can’t receive student aid from our program.

• Have a valid Social Security Number (unless you are from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or the Republic of Palau).

• Register with the Selective Service if required.

• Maintain satisfactory academic progress once in school.

• Certify that you are not in default on a federal student aid loan and do not owe money on a federal grant.

• Certify that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes.

The Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended (HEA) suspends student aid eligibility for students who have been convicted under federal or state law of the sale or possession of drugs.

Even if you are ineligible for federal student aid, you should complete the FAFSA because you may be eligible for non-federal student aid from states and private institutions. If you regain eligibility during the award year, notify your student financial aid administrator immediately. If you are convicted of a drug-related offence after you submit the FAFSA, you might lose eligibility for federal student aid, and you might be liable for returning any financial student aid you received during a period of ineligibility.
