SCHOLARSHIPS CANNOT BE COMBINED
Federal Student Aid
Pell Grant
Department of Education, primarily for undergraduate students. Awards vary depending on the cost of attendance and the financial circumstances of students. Unlike loans, these grants don’t need to be repaid. Visit studentaid.gov for more information.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
Participating schools award SEOG to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need, based on the availability of funds. It’s a form of financial aid that doesn’t need to be repaid, and is awarded to students who also receive the Federal Pell Grant.
Direct Loan Programs
This is a federal student loan program managed by the U.S. Department of Education, where eligible students and parents can borrow directly from the government. Direct Loans include subsidized and unsubsidized loans and Parent Plus loans. Direct Unsubsidized loans accrue interest from the time the loan is disbursed and you are responsible for paying the interest. With Direct Subsidized loans the Department of Education pays the interest while the student is in school (at least half-time), during the grace period, and during deferment periods, but must be repaid with interest.
Alternative Loans
New Jersey Class Loans
These funds give a student the ability to borrow as much as they need to meet the remaining cost of education after other financial aid. Students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), attend a New Jersey school or be a New Jersey resident, be a US Citizen or eligible non-citizen and be enrolled at least half-time. Approval is based on the borrower’s satisfactory credit history and ability to repay the loan and a co-signor may be required.
