REESTABLISHING FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
A student who is unsuccessful in appealing for reinstatement of their
financial aid or a student who does not have a mitigating circumstance that
warrants an appeal can only regain eligibility by complying with the
satisfactory academic progress policy. It should be noted that taking
courses at the student’s expense, sitting out a semester, or taking courses at
another institution does not automatically restore a student’s eligibility for
financial aid. If the student has resolved the satisfactory academic progress
deficiencies that resulted in the termination of financial aid eligibility, the
student should contact the financial aid office and request a satisfactory
academic progress evaluation.
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID POLICIES
• Financial aid applications for the upcoming academic year are
available beginning January 1 in the financial aid office.
• LaGrange College awards aid to eligible students on a first-come,
first-serve basis. In awarding, first priority is given to students
pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Transient, non-degree
seeking, and unclassified students are not eligible for
financial assistance.
• All financial aid applications and documentation for verification
must be submitted before an official financial aid award letter
is mailed.
• In constructing a financial aid award, funding is awarded in this order:
grants and scholarships, student loans, and student employment.
• External sources of financial aid available to a financial aid
recipient must be considered in the awarding of Federal, State, and
LaGrange College need-based financial aid programs. LaGrange
College reserves the right to cancel or reduce financial aid awards
in the event that these resources result in financial aid in excess of
financial need.
• Financial aid awards are made assuming full-time enrollment. Most
LaGrange College and State financial aid programs require full-time
enrollment, however, financial assistance is available to students who
enroll half-time.
