Federal Grants and Loans

Undergraduate students may be eligible for Federal PELL grants and Federal Direct loans. Graduate students may be eligible for the Federal Direct loans. Application for the Federal aid programs is done by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov to determine your eligibility. The FAFSA will be based on the prior year's federal tax information. For the 2017-18 accademic year, 2015 tax information will be used.
