FAQs
Q: Can I change the loan amount later if I accept or decline my loan now?
A: Yes, you can complete a Reduce or Cancel Form or a Request for Additional Loans Form.
Q: What is my federal financial aid offer based on?
A: Your federal financial aid is based on the information you provided on your FAFSA, your estimated cost of attendance, and program eligibility requirements. This is why your eligibility for things like the Pell Grant and workstudy can vary from year to year.
Q: How many credits do I need to get federal financial aid?
A: Requirements vary by program. A Federal Pell Grant recipient may be able to receive funds by taking one course. To receive federal loans, a student must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits for undergraduates, 5 credits for graduates).
Q: Are there other financial aid options for me?
A: Yes! You can look into scholarships, TEACH Grants, payment plans, PLUS loans and more. Get more information at Financial Aid Options.
