Students are expected to be prepared with sufficient funds for maintenance, books and supplies for at least two weeks. Credit balance refunds are not issued until after the second week of classes. Philosophy. It has been recognized that the cost of attending institutions of post- secondary education is greater than many families can handle alone. It is the philosophy of the financial aid office that no one should be denied a post- secondary education due to a lack of funds. Although it is primarily the responsibility of the student and/or family to pay college costs, this is not always possible. In such cases, the student should apply for financial aid to supplement family resources. Parents/students should compare their award letters to our published Cost of Attendance (COA) to determine if sufficient funds are available for 1. How to Apply Go to FAFSA on the Web at www.

Subsidized loans are awarded based on the student’s calculated need from the FAFSA. The interest is paid by the government while at least half- time enrollment is maintained. You are charged a fee by the federal government when you borrow; the amount of your loan sent to the school is reduced by that fee. Repayment begins six months after enrollment has ceased or dropped to below half- time status. Once in repayment interest rate is variable and caps at 8. Direct Unsubsidized Loans.

Interest is not paid by the Federal government, and the student is responsible for all interest associated with the loan.
