Students can obtain full information and applications
for financial aid (scholarships, loans, grants

forms are available in high school guidance
offices, the St. Ambrose University Financial Aid
Office. and online at
www.ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/FAFSA. This form is
used to apply for need based funds.
For Iowa residents, this information will be
released to the Iowa College Student Aid
Commission and should reach the processor prior
to July 1. Only students who submit this form on
time are considered for Iowa Tuition Grant
money.
Need must be established by completing the
financial aid form for all institutional, federal,
and state funds such as loans, grants, and workstudy
programs. This form must be completed
each year for possible renewal of need based
funds.
All students receiving financial aid (federal,
state, and/or institutional funds) are expected to
complete all courses attempted while maintaining
at least a cumulative grade point average of 2.0
(undergraduate) or 3.0 (graduate). The exception
for graduate work holds that a GPA of 2.8–2.99

year is defined as August 15 through August 14.

grade point average earned at the minimum level
