STUDENT FINANCIAL AID 21
4. STUDENT
FINANCIAL AID
The University Student Financial Aid and
Scholarship Program offers assistance to
worthy students needing financial aid and
awards scholarships to students of high
scholastic achievement.
Financial aid is allocated on the basis
of need in the form of grants, scholarships,
jobs, and loans. Often aid is offered
in all four forms; however, acceptance of
loan and job offers is optional. The aid is
administered on an individual basis according
to the particular circumstances of
the student and his/her family.
Financial assistance is awarded for one
year at at time. Separate applications must
be filed each year. Application materials
are available in January for the coming
academic year.
Financial assistance is committed only
to students who are tentatively or fully
approved for admission or who are eligible
returning students.
The University cooperates in making
available funds provided by both the
federal and state government to students
for grants, employment, and loans. The
University must administer the federal
and state programs within prescribed
regulations.
All government programs are dependent
on funding by federal and state governments.
Awards are subject to funding
by legislation and are not binding on the
University if such programs are not funded.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
In order to continue receiving financial
assistance a student must be making satisfactory
progress toward a degree. Satisfactory
Academic Progress is defined in
both qualitative (gpa) and quantitative
(hours completed of hours attempted)
terms. Details of the University policy are
available in the Financial Aid Office. It is
important that every student receiving any
type of financial assistance (federal, state,
or institutional) be aware of the Satisfactory
Academic Progress requirements for
continuation of financial aid.The Office of Financial Aid will notify a
student who ceases to meet minimum
requirements for satisfactory progress. Students
receiving veterans benefits must
meet additional standards and should see
the section on Veterans Benefits.
How Terminating Enrollment Affects
Financial Aid
The primary responsibility for paying
for a student's college education rests
with the student and his or her family. Any
financial aid obtained through the HSU
Financial Aid Office-federal, state, or
institutional-is considered supplemental.
When a student withdraws, is expelled, or
ceases to be a student at HSU before the
regular end of the academic session for
which he/she received financial aid, there
is sometimes a refund due, in accordance
with the University's refund policy
(see p. 18). However, if the student has
received financial aid for the semester
during which he/she withdraws, Federal
law and University policy dictate that calculated
amounts be returned to the respective
Financial Aid program(s). Early
withdrawal may mean the loss of part
or all of a student's institutional grants
or scholarships and the loss of part or
all of a student's federal or state aid.
Policies and formulae for determining the
amounts to be returned to the individual
programs are available in the Financial
Aid Office.
All applications and requests for information
should be directed to the Student
Financial Aid Office, Drawer R, HSU Station,
Abilene, Texas 79698.
