Financial Aid Services

If you qualify, you may receive financial aid to fund your education. Prior to enrolling at the College, you are encouraged to explore the availability of financial aid funding through state and federal agencies. Financial aid information and application assistance is provided by the College Financial Aid Office to help both you and your family clearly understand your financial situation before entering into a contractual agreement. The College is approved for the following loans and grants:

Loans

• Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL) Subsidized Loan
• Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL) Unsubsidized Loan
• Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL) Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
• Federal Perkins Loan Program
• Alternative and Career Loans

Grants

• Federal Pell Grant 
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
• Twenty-First Century Scholarship
• Frank O'Bannon Grant

Additional information on repayment responsibilities, eligibility requirements, alternate financing, amounts available, interest rates, scholarships, and repayment schedules is available from the Financial Aid Office. Third-party funding sources may be available to students from outside agencies. Students are encouraged to seek such funding and familiarize themselves with the policies of the agency. Although the College will assist students in completing necessary forms and will provide any required information to the agency, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to ensure the agency requirements are met.

Violet Sharp-Perry Memorial Scholarship

Every August, the College awards a student a $1,000 scholarship in memory of the late Academic Dean, Violet Sharp-Perry. Day and evening division students are eligible to apply for this scholarship. The scholarship is applied to tuition only. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for application criteria and the submission deadline.
