Receive Aid
Receiving financial aid can make a big difference in managing the cost of college, but it’s important to stay informed about the policies that affect your award.
To maintain your aid, you must meet specific eligibility requirements, including maintaining an eligible enrollment status and citizenship criteria. Your aid may be subject to financial aid adjustment if your enrollment changes or if additional resources, like scholarships, are reported.
Staying on track academically is also crucial—students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards, which include maintaining a minimum GPA and completing a required percentage of attempted courses. Some students may be selected for verification, a process that requires submitting documentation to confirm the accuracy of FAFSA information.
Lastly, if you withdraw from classes or the university, a portion of your aid may need to be returned as per federal guidelines. Understanding these key areas can help ensure you keep your aid and avoid unexpected issues.
