FINANCIAL AID FINANCIAL AID Student Financial Aid at Birmingham-Southern College 253 Financial aid at Birmingham-Southern College is administered through the Office of Financial Aid. The College embraces the philosophy that worthy, qualified students should have an opportunity for a college education regardless of their economic circumstances. Birmingham-Southern College is willing to join with students and their families to provide monetary assistance for eligible students who demonstrate financial need. The student’s family bears the principal responsibility of financing college education. The College expects each student to assume a measure of responsibility through a combination of savings, limited work, and/or borrowing. Any eligible student admitted to Birmingham-Southern College who applies for need-based financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is considered for assistance. Based on the statement of philosophy above, and with an understanding that aid resources at the College are limited, the Office of Financial Aid has adopted these principles: • The primary purpose of the financial aid program is to assist students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend Birmingham-Southern College. • A student’s family is expected to make a maximum effort to assist the student with college expenses. The Office of Financial Aid views financial assistance as a supplement to the student and family contribution. • Financial aid consists of grants, scholarships, loans, and employment that may be offered to students singularly or in various combinations. • Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress, as defined by the College. • The total amount of need-based and merit-based financial assistance offered to a student shall not exceed the student’s cost of attendance. • With certain limited exceptions, merit scholarships funded by the College shall not exceed the cost of regular tuition. In the event that outside scholarships are awarded to individual students, the College reserves the right to use merit-based awards to fund educational costs other than tuition and mandatory fees not to exceed the cost of attendance. • In determining a student’s financial aid award, outside resources including scholarships, grants, and loans will be considered to ensure equitable distribution of funds and adherence to federal regulations. • International students are eligible for institutional aid.
