To help meet your financial need, we offer you a combination of awards called a financial aid package. There are two components to most financial aid packages: gift aid and self-help. Gift-aid awards include grants and scholarships and are monies given to you that you do not have to repay. Self-help awards are monies that you must apply for and either repay (student loans) or work for (student employment).
Note: If your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is greater than the cost of attendance, you will not be offered "need-based" financial aid. You or your parent(s) may still apply for non-need based aid, such as the Federal PLUS Loan and/or the unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan.
Once your Financial Aid package has been determined, you will be sent an e-mail notifying you that your 2009-2010 Financial Aid Eligibility status is available on Student Information On-Line (SIO).We recommend that you print and keep a copy of your letter (and any revised letters) for your records. After you receive your e-mail notification, go to SIO and sign in using your Andrew ID and password. Click on “Aid/Account” and then on “Financial Aid.” In the drop-down menu at the top of the page, select “Aidyr 2009-2010” and then click on “Award Notification.”
If we are unable to process your financial aid package due to missing documents, you will receive a Financial Aid Alert via e-mail. If you receive an e-mail, please remit all required documents by the date specified. If you do not complete the application process and submit all requested documents, we may be unable to complete your financial aid package for the academic year.
