Financial Aid

Financial aid is a mechanism that reduces out-of-pocket costs that the student and/or parents must pay to obtain a specific post-secondary education. Presented differently, financial aid is money made available to help students meet the cost of college attendance. Financial aid includes grants and loans. Grants do not have to be repaid. Loans usually have low interest rates that a student must repay in accordance to the individual loan program terms.Most of the loans can be arranged to require payment after a grace period of several months upon graduation, or upon the student’s termination from the program or if a student’s attendance falls below half time Financial aid is awarded to students who have “need”. Need is the difference between the amount of money that the family will be expected to contribute to meet student costs and the cost of education at this school.If you obtain a loan to pay for an educational program, you will be responsible to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less amount of any refund, and that, if the student has received federal student aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from federal student aid program funds.
