General Eligibility

One of the most important things to know in Financial Aid is your eligibility. Make sure you know what you need to do to establish and maintain your eligibility along with what types of aid you qualify for. To be considered eligible for most financial aid programs a student must: be matriculated (accepted for and enrolled in a degree program, or certain certificate programs), be enrolled in at least six credits per semester, be making satisfactory academic progress, demonstrate financial need (for need-based aid), and file the by November 15 (for priority consideration). There are very few exceptions to these basic eligibility criteria, and many financial aid programs have additional eligibility criteria. The basis of selection for most awards is ability and/or financial need.
