It is generally accepted that financial assistance plays an integral role in the admission and retention of students. Inability to meet educational expenses can adversely influence students’ educational goals and their ability to earn secondary education.
The President upholds federal and state financial aid policies and programs designed to maximize student access to educational opportunities, regardless of financial circumstances. In further alignment with this mission, the President actively implements processes to secure financial support from all available sources. Additionally, the President provides the Board of Trustees with an annual report on the institution’s financial aid program.
The financial aid program may include but is not limited to:
- Grants and scholarships
- Loans
- Part-time employment both on and off the campus
- Combinations of all of the above
Federal and State guidelines may disqualify a student from receiving any Student Aid Funds.
