No qualified student should be unable to further
his/her education due to lack of funds. Southern participates in
a wide variety of scholarships, grants, loans and employment
opportunities, to admit the greatest number of applicants
interested in improving their career opportunities.
Generally, aid is either merit-based (awarded based solely on
academic ability) or need-based (the difference between the
estimated cost of attending college and the family’s ability
to pay). Need-based aid includes grants, which do not have to be
repaid or earned, and self-help assistance (Federal Family
Educational Loans, which must be repaid, Plus Loans for parents
and self help earned through the Federal College Work Study
Program).
To be considered for financial aid at Southern a student
must:
-
be admitted to the college
-
be a citizen or eligible non-citizen
-
be registered with Selective Service (if required)
-
have a high school diploma or GED
-
be working toward a degree or certificate at Southern
-
apply for financial aid through the College financial aid
office
-
be making satisfactory academic progress
-
have an academic transcript and a financial aid
transcript on file for every college or postsecondary
institution attended even if they did not receive financial
aid
-
not owe a refund on a Federal grant or be in default on a
Federal education loan
-
have financial need (except for unsubsidized Stafford
Loans and/or non-need based scholarships)
