Determining Financial Need<br />
Generally, financial aid is awarded on the basis<br />
of financial need. When submitting a Free<br />
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)<br />
at www.fafsa.ed.gov, you are asking the<br />
government to look at your income, dependents<br />
and assets and calculate how much you and<br />
your family can be expected to contribute<br />
towards education. Financial need is the cost of<br />
education less the amount you can contribute.<br />
Federal Pell Grants<br />
Based on federal eligibility determined by the<br />
FAFSA, this award money is used for tuition<br />
and does not have to be repaid.<br />
Federal Direct Loans<br />
Students may qualify for subsidized or<br />
unsubsidized loans based on financial need.<br />

Available to eligible parents of dependent<br />
students. Repayment of principal and interest<br />
