Estimated Financial Aid for Qualifying Individuals:
Federal Funds
Eligibility for federal funds is determined by the Financial Aid Office using the Federal
Methodology. The dollar amount of federal funds awarded to a student is dependent on
specific program funding. To be eligible for federal funds, a student must be a U.S. citizen or
eligible non-citizen, demonstrate financial need (except for unsubsidized Federal
Direct Loans and PLUS loans), meet enrollment criteria and make satisfactory academic
progress toward a diploma. All applicants for federal funds must complete the FAFSA. The
number of awards and the dollar amount awarded are dependent on specific program
funding.
Federal Pell Grant Program
Federal Pell Grant Program: These awards, administered by the U.S. Department of
Education through participating institutions, provide a financial aid foundation to students
with high need. Grants are funding the individual does not pay back. For the 2024-2025
academic year, awards can be available up to $4930.00
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants

Financial Aid Office, may range from $100 to $500 and are made to students with
exceptional financial need. Grants are funding the individual does not pay back.
Federal Direct Loan Program

both subsidized and unsubsidized loans to students. Students who demonstrate financial
need through the FAFSA and the Federal Methodology and therefore qualify for a
subsidized loan do not pay interest during the time they are enrolled at least half-time; the
interest is paid for them by the federal government. Students who do not qualify for a
subsidized loan must pay the interest on the loan during the time they are enrolled.
Repayment of the principal for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans begin six months
after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time.
Annual loan limits for the 2024-25 year are $3958 unsubsidized loans and $2309
subsidized loans for independent students, In addition, all dependent students are
eligible to borrow $2309 subsidized loans and $1319 unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan.
Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans
The Direct Parent PLUS Loan program enables parents with a good credit history
to borrow as much as the full cost of attendance, minus any financial aid, each
year. This is a loan that must be paid back. Interest begins to accrue immediately,
but repayment may be deferred until six months after the student ceases to be
enrolled at least half-time. The repayment term is 10 years. All Federal PLUS
borrowers must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
