Federal Pell Grant

This federal program provides non-repayable grants to students based upon an analysis of their family's needs. Pell grant eligibility is determined by a standard formula and a federal need analysis. This is an annual award, and applications must be submitted each year.

Pell Grants do not need to be repaid. Eligibility is determined by the FAFSA.

Federal Direct Loan

The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program offers low-interest educational loans that must be paid back. The funding for these loans comes directly from the federal government. Our institution offers Federal Direct Subsidized Loans and Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans.

Direct Loans must be repaid. Subsidized and Unsubsidized options are available.

Eligibility caveat: Financial aid is available to those who qualify. Loan repayment terms and disclosure information are provided during the financial aid process. Aid does not guarantee program completion or employment.
