Keeping Your Financial Aid

Welcome to Handbook Highlights!  A monthly feature where we will be spotlighting parts of the financial aid handbook and website.  This month - Keeping Your Financial Aid.

Many people do not make a connection between financial aid and its funding resource.  This becomes particularly true when that financial aid is something you receive from the federal government.  The truth is that money supporting financial aid must come from somewhere.  The majority of financial aid comes from two different types of resources - generous donors or the federal and state taxpayer.  Because scholarships, grants and loan interest subsidies are paid for by someone else, there are typically rules you must follow to continue receiving them.

The Financial Aid website describes four ways to keep your financial aid intact.  We strongly encourage you to take a few moments to become familiar with how to keep your financial aid right where it is.
