Financial Aid
Financial aid may be awarded in several ways. It may be:
- A scholarship
- A grant
- A loan from a bank or other agency
- A part-time job
These may be the means for some students to be able to attend college. Some of the ways may provide money that has to be paid back by a prearranged method.
Students interested in financial aid should study college catalogues of their choice, discover what is available, and how to apply for such aid.
Families interested in discussing sources of financial aid may set up an appointment with their guidance counselor or the office of Collegiate Affairs. It is the student's responsibility to meet deadlines regarding financial aid. Additional scholarship searches are available in the college/career center or in Naviance.
