FINANCIAL AID POLICIES & PROCEDURES, AAMU, 2012-2013 ~ 21 ~ Financial Aid Policies and Procedures The Office of Student Financial Aid at Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University provides financial assistance to students who need aid in order to attend the University. The University believes that the amount of aid granted should be based on financial need. Students seeking assistance are required to file an application for Federal Student Financial Aid annually. Applications for aid should be completed in January or February of the year prior to the academic year in which the student will need assistance. Application materials and a brochure describing available aid programs may be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Aid, 211 Patton Hall, and/or on the web at www.aamu.edu. The financial aid which students may receive includes scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment. Types of Aid Federal Aid: Federal Perkins Loan Program. The Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest (5 percent) loan designed for both undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. The total amount a student can borrow as an undergraduate is $15,000. Including any Federal Perkins Loans borrowed as an undergraduate, students may borrow up to $30,000 as a graduate or professional student. Students must repay this loan to Alabama A&M University. Federal Work-Study Program. The Federal Work-Study Program provides on- and off-campus jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to students’ courses of study. Students’ total Federal Work-Study award depends on when they apply, their level of need, and the funding level of their institution. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, for undergraduates with exceptional financial need (lowest Expected Family Contributions) gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. Students can receive between $100 and $4,000 a year, depending on when they apply and their level of need. The FSEOG does not have to be repaid. Students who are pursuing a second bachelor’s degree are not eligible for the grant. Federal Pell Grant. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. To determine eligibility, the U.S. Department of Education uses a standard formula, established by Congress, to evaluate the information students report when they apply. Family Federal Education Loans. FFEL Stafford Loans are either subsidized or unsubsidized. A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. Borrowers will not be charged interest before beginning repayment or during authorized periods of deferment. Loan money must first be used to pay tuition and fees, room and board, and other school charges. Maximum loans are $23,000 for all undergraduate work or $65,500 for both undergraduate and graduate work. Borrowers must repay this money beginning six months after the borrower ceases attendance at AAMU and extending over a period of up to ten years. An unsubsidized loan is awarded without regard to need. The borrower is charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. If the interest accumulates, it will be capitalized – that is, the interest will be added to the principal amount of the loan and additional interest will be based upon the higher amount. This will increase the amount of repayment. Independent undergraduate students may borrow a maximum of $23,000. Graduate or professional students may borrow up to $73,000 including any funds borrowed as an undergraduate student. The student must repay this money beginning six months after ceasing attendance at AAMU. PLUS Loans enable parents with good credit histories to borrow to pay the education expenses of each child who is a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half time. The yearly limit on a PLUS Loan is equal to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. For example, if the cost of attendance is $6,000 and the student receives $4,000 in other financial aid, his or her parents could borrow up to-but no more than $2,000. The interest rate is variable, but will never exceed nine percent. Generally, repayment must begin within 60 days after the final loan disbursement of the academic year. There is no grace period for these loans. Parents must begin repaying both principal and interest while students are still in school. State Aid: Alabama Student Assistance Program (Leveraging Education Assistance Partnership [LEAP] Program). This state/federal aid program is designed to provide assistance to undergraduate residents of Alabama. Awards range from $300 to $2,500 per year. Residents of states other than Alabama should contact the higher education assistance agency in their states for information about the availability of funds from the LEAP program. Alabama National Guard Education Assistance Program. This is a state program designed to provide financial assistance to Alabama National Guard members who are also residents of the state of Alabama. Its purpose is to aid undergraduate and graduate students at accredited Alabama postsecondary institutions of higher learning. The student may receive an award equal to tuition, fees, books, and supplies, not to exceed $500 per semester and $1,000 annually.
