Frequently Asked Questions

We are happy to 帮助 students with all their financial 援助 questions, including FAFSA questions. 请 call our office at 435.283.7129 for 帮助.

Money received from Pell grants or work study jobs does not need to be p援助 回来. Subsidized and unsubsidized loans both will need to be rep援助 upon leaving school, whether or not you graduate.

Visit fafsa.ed.gov and follow the directions to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. It’s free to fill out, and all the information you give is strictly confidential.

All scholarships, grants, and loans will be automatically credited to your student 账户. You will be responsible to pay any tuition or fees that these funds do not 封面. If there are funds leftover, the money will be sent to you. You will receive your refund either by direct deposit, which can be setup at the Cashier’s Office, or by check, which will be sent to the address on file.

To be considered a full-time student, you must be enrolled for 12 or more credit 小时. Students taking less than 12 credit 小时 can still qualify for a smaller 援助 包.

Before dropping a class, we strongly encourage you to talk to either a financial 援助 or academic advisor. Dropping below a certain number of credit 小时 could affect your financial 援助 or scholarship awards. You could lose your financial 援助 and/or scholarship for future semesters, or even be required to pay some of the Pell Grant 钱要回来.

If you qualified for a Pell Grant but haven’t yet received the money, you may have forgotten to either accept your award or complete the required forms. 请 see the financial 援助 office for more details.

There are several reasons students may not receive Pell Grant money.

1. You must complete the FAFSA every year. If you didn’t complete the FAFSA for this academic year, you will not receive any funds.
2. Federal Pell Grants are awarded based on economic need. If you did not receive a Pell Grant, it may be because you exceed the income limits.
3. Academic eligibility: To receive Pell Grant funds, you must be enrolled in enough credit 小时 and meet the minimum GPA requirements. 请 see the Financial Aid office for more details.

Scholarships are different from financial 援助. You can be awarded both a scholarship and financial 援助. 请 visit the scholarship office for more information about the scholarships available.

If a student is attending more than one school during the same semester a consortium agreement needs to be completed to ensure that a student receives their full financial 援助. Only one school can pay a student financial 援助 per semester. 请 call the financial 援助 office for more information about consortium agreements.
