Do you qualify for financial aid?
To receive financial aid, you must qualify under all of the following eligibility criteria.
Meet all federal eligibility criteria
For instance, you may not receive federal Pell Grant from more than one school at the same time. You must clear any hold on your financial aid record.
Be admitted to a degree program
Formal admission is different from just taking classes. Most financial aid requires admission to a degree program. Contact a One Stop counselor for information about aid for certificate programs. There is limited aid available for non-degree students.
