Financial Aid Eligibility Determination
Most of the financial aid offered is funded by the Federal or New York State governments and is based on financial need and comes in the form of grants, scholarships and loans. New York State funded programs such as the Tuition Assistance Program and EOP have a separate set of eligibility guidelines.
To receive federally funded financial aid a student must:
- Have financial need, except for some loan programs
- Have a high school diploma or a General Education Diploma (GED) Certificate, pass a test approved by the US Department of Education, or meet other standards your state establishes that are approved by the US Department of Education. See your financial aid administrator for more information.
- Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program (you may not receive aid for correspondence or telecommunications courses unless they are part of an associate, bachelor, or graduate degree program)
- Be a US Citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- Have a valid Social Security Number
- Make satisfactory academic progress
- Sign a statement of educational purpose and a certification statement on overpayment and default (both found on the FAFSA)
- Register with the Selective Service, if required
