Types of Financial Aid
Sub or Sib Categories in the Page
We administer three types of financial aid:
- Gift Aid
- Loans, and
- Employment
Student loans, on the other hand, are just that--loans--and must be repaid with interest. However, repayment is usually deferred until the student leaves school.
Another type of assistance is work-study employment; the amount offered through this program must be earned by the student.
When you apply for financial aid through our office you will be considered for the following types of aid. Because some funds may be depleted part way into the year, it is always best to apply as early as possible.
