Explore Your Financial Assistance Options

Several types of financial assistance can help you pay for your online program. It is important to plan and explore all options of financial assistance that may be available to you.

Options include:

• Federal Aid – the most popular form of financial aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You should fill out a FAFSA form as soon as possible so you know how much federal aid you might qualify for.
• Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans – Subsidized loans are need-based loans, while unsubsidized loans are available to all students. These loans must be repaid based on their conditions.
• Scholarships – There are different types of scholarships such as merit- or need-based, specialty scholarships for specific demographics, and field-specific scholarships for students who want to pursue a certain professional career. Scholarships can be awarded through the school, program, private or non-profit organizations, and businesses.
• Grants – Grants are need-based or merit-based awards that don’t have to be paid back. Examples include Federal Pell Grants, State Grants, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG).
• Work-Study Programs – These programs offer part-time work so you can get paid while you complete your program. Eligibility for work-study is typically determined through the FAFSA and financial aid award process.
• Other Resources – Some students benefit from additional resources such as monetary gifts or family assistance.
