Types of Financial Aid
The following federally-funded programs are the major financial aid resources available to students. Students may receive assistance from any one of these or from a combination of all of these programs. Eligibility for these programs is based on the completion of the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid.

Federal Programs

Pell Grant - The Pell Grant Program provides for grants of up to $5,350* for each undergraduate year. Eligibility for these grants is determined by the federal government, based on the information provided on the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid." Approximately six weeks after submitting an application, the student should receive a Student Aid Report which they must bring to the Financial Services Office of the school to determine the amount of the student's award.
*Based upon Congressional approval.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants Program provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need. Grants range from $100 to $4,000 per academic year. Eligibility for these grants is determined by the Financial Services Office of the College.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAM (FWS)

This is a federal program of student employment for students with financial need. Students may work part-time at the college while attending classes full-time. On-campus jobs include work in offices, library, computer labs, etc. Off-campus employment with qualifying agencies may also be available.

FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN

Stafford Student Loans, which were formerly called Guaranteed Student Loans, enable students to borrow money for educational expenses directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lenders. The Federal Stafford Loan Program actually includes two distinct loan programs. Eligibility for the "subsidized" Stafford Loan is based upon financial need.

The "unsubsidized" Stafford Loan is not based on financial need. Hence, almost all students who meet the "general eligibility requirements for federal financial aid" are eligible for a Stafford Loan in some amount. The eligibility for unsubsidized loans is larger for independent students because they do not have access to PLUS loans.

FEDERAL PARENT LOAN FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (PLUS)

The Federal PLUS Program enables parents to borrow directly from many lending institutions to pay for a dependent child's cost of education. Repayment begins within 60 days of the date the loan is disbursed, and payment is made over a ten-year period. The interest is a variable rate as determined annually by the federal government.

Other Financial Sources

GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES

Various governmental agencies administer programs which assist with educational costs. These agencies may include the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), New York Vocational Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID), Trade Readjustment Act (TRA), Workforce Investment Act (WIA), and others. For further information regarding eligibility, contact your high school guidance counselor, other social services agencies, or Bryant & Stratton College.
