Financial aid awards are made for one academic year to students who are accepted for admission, demonstrate a financial need, and are enrolled for at least six credit hours. Recipients of government aid must hold U.S. citizenship or a permanent resident visa. Students desiring aid must reapply each year, have a GED or high school diploma on file in the Records and Advisement Office, and continue to make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward a degree to receive financial aid.
WARNING: If a student purposely gives false or misleading information on the federal aid application, s/he may be fined up to $20,000 by the US Department of Education, sent to prison, or both.
