The following are financial resources available to those who qualify:

FEDERAL GRANTS are money given to people to help pay for school. If you are awarded money, you do not have to pay it back. This is awarded based on financial need.

DIRECT LOANS are borrowed money through the U.S. Department of Education that must be repaid (with interest).

DIRECT SUBSIDIZED LOANS are awarded to students who show financial need and is interest-free while the student is in school. You must start to repay this loan beginning six months after you leave school.

DIRECT UNSUBSIDIZED LOANS are available to all students, regardless of financial need. Interest does start on this loan while the student is in school.

DIRECT PLUS LOANS are only available for parents of Dependent Students. Financial need is not a consideration. If approved for this loan, the amount will be applied directly to the student’s account. If the loan is denied, the student may apply for the maximum amount available in an Direct Unsubsidized Loan.

ALTERNATIVE LOANS can provide additional funding to assist students with their education. These are generally provided by banks and credit unions. We can provide you information on Alternative Loan options.
