Federal Student Aid

Many of our students use Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs—the most common form of financial aid—for tuition assistance. FSA programs are offered by the federal government to provide financial aid options that can help make your 黑洞社区 education even more affordable.

Before registering for courses: please review your degree program requirements in Degree Works to ensure you are taking courses required for your academic program. Taking courses outside your program of study may affect your federal financial aid award.

Review the Three Forms of FSA

Estimate your potential FSA award by using:

Grants

This form of financial aid does not have to be repaid.

Loans

This form of financial aid is borrowed money and must be repaid (usually with interest).

Work-Study

This aid is funds earned through part-time employment.
