Eligibility Requirements

In order to be eligible for financial aid, an applicant must be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program. Additionally, the applicant must maintain satisfactory academic progress, comply with Federal Selective Service Law, not be in default on any educational loans, or owe a refund on any federal grants or loans to any institution. Students who have obtained a previous bachelor’s degree at any U.S. or foreign institution are not eligible for financial aid.

Financial aid awards are subject to change if any of the factors used to calculate eligibility from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) change after the date of original application. Other examples of factors that impact eligibility include increases in income and changes in family size and/or in the number of family members enrolled in college. Students are strongly advised to consult with the Financial Aid Office if they are contemplating a change in enrollment status.
