Undergraduate Financial Aid Guide

What is Financial Aid?

The U.S. Department of Education has the following major student financial aid (SFA) programs:

  • Federal Pell Grants
  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunities Grants (FSEOG)
  • Federal Direct Student Loans
  • Federal PLUS Loans
  • Federal Work-Study (FWS)

Grants are financial aid that you do not have to repay. Work-Study awards let you work and earn money to help pay for school. Loans are borrowed money that you must repay with interest. Undergraduate students are eligible to receive all three types of financial aid.

What is Need?

If your EFC is below a certain amount, you may be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. There isn't a maximum EFC that defines eligibility for the other financial aid programs.

As a result of the FAFSA Simplification Act that was passed by Congress, the 2024 鈥 2025 FAFSA will change the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) to the Student Aid Index (SAI). . Additional information will be available in the coming months.

The financial aid administrator calculates your cost of attendance and subtracts the amount you and your family are expected to contribute toward that cost. If there's anything left over, you're considered to have financial need.
