The philosophy of the Financial Aid Department is that students should do their best to
finance their way through college. The primary way this is done is through employment on
campus.
In order to assist students, the college has a payroll deduction system. Roughly 48% of a
student's pay is automatically credited to the student's account. If students do not have
a bill, there is no requirement for them to be on the payroll deduction program.
When necessary, Financial Aid grants may be dispensed after a need is shown and due effort
displayed on behalf of the students to minimize their bills. The Financial Aid Officer
will consider the use of money for luxuries above and beyond basic needs, the number of
hours worked and the student's effort to solicit family help.
The student body maintains a small loan program for emergencies. Full-time students can
borrow up to $250 for up to 60 days or until the last day of each semester, whichever
comes first. All questions regarding this loan program should be directed to the Financial
Aid Officer.
The College does not participate in federal student loan and grant programs.
