What is Financial Aid?

Financial aid is monetary assistance for the cost of attending college that comes from a source other than the student and their family. Scholarships, grants, loans, and the Federal Work-Study Program are all considered to be types of financial aid.

  Withdrawal and Non-Attendance May Affect The Aid You Must Pay Back

  There are many requirements for earning your financial aid. Attendance and grades as well as the total number of hours you completed compared to the hours you were paid at the beginning of the semester, may require you to repay your financial aid. Before withdrawing from a class, check with the financial aid office.
