Federal Pell Grant
This grant program is designed to assist needy undergraduate students who desire to continue their education beyond high school. Every student is entitled to apply for a Federal Pell Grant. Eligibility is determined by a standard U.S. Department of Education formula. The actual amount of the award is based upon the cost of attendance, enrollment status, and the amount of money appropriated by Congress to fund the program. The Federal Pell Grant makes it possible to provide a foundation of financial aid to help defray the cost of a postsecondary education. Unlike loans, the Federal Pell Grant does not usually have to be paid back.
Federal Direct Student and Direct Parent Loans
The Department's major form of self-help aid includes loans to students and parents through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. Direct Loans are available through the U.S. Government rather than through a bank or other financial institution. We offer both Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans. A Subsidized loan is need-based and the government pays (subsidizes) the interest while the student is in school at least half-time and for six months after the student ceases attending at least half-time (called a grace period).
If students don't qualify for a subsidized loan, they may qualify for an Unsubsidized loan. (Independent students may also qualify for additional unsubsidized loan beyond the base amount.) Unlike a subsidized loan, the student is responsible for paying the interest that accrues from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. Students may choose to pay the interest while in school or allow it to accrue and be capitalized (that is, added to the principal amount of the loan).
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) (ALL SCHOOLS BUT SBI WHITE PLAINS AND SBI CRANSTON)
The Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) is available to students who have successfully completed a rigorous High School program (as defined by the Secretary of Education). The ACG provides funds for the first and second academic year of undergraduate study. Students must be enrolled full-time, be U.S citizens, or eligible non-citizens and receiving a Federal Pell Grant. Second year students must also have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
Private Loans
Various lending institutions offer loans to help cover the gap between the cost of education and the amount of federal eligibility. A co-signer may be required to meet the program's credit criteria. Interest rates are variable and are typically based on the prime rate or the Treasury Bill. Contact the Financial Aid office for more information. Institutional Funding Options
The campus offers non-credit based payment plans to cover the remaining balance after all other federal, state and private options are exhausted. The payment plan options include a non-interest payment plan with equal installments while in the program and an interest bearing plan that is paid in equal installments while in the program plus up to 24 months past graduation. Please consult with the Sanford Brown campus you are interesting in attending to learn more.
