理解获奖信

The heading of each letter states whether it is preliminary or official. 初步信函提供了对奖励的估计.

如何阅读获奖信

获奖信由两页组成. The first page provides information about your estimated grants and loans and loan application information. If you're interested in student employment, please contact your 财政援助办公室.

第1页-奖励信息

第一页注明你的校园地址和获奖年份, 它还规定了裁决是否为初步裁决, 正式的或修订的. 初步裁决是一个估计, while both the official and official revised awards are actual awards (as long as corrections are not made after the printing of the letter). A revised letter is generated when information about additional awards is provided to the 财政援助办公室 and it impacts your eligibility for the amounts offered on the official award letter. (The revised award letter usually affects loan amounts when you receive scholarships or funding from another source or chooses to do work study instead of taking out a loan).

The chart on Page 1 indicates grant, loan and work study amounts at different enrollment levels. The words Fall and Spring are followed by the year and the number of credits This refers to the term and year you are enrolled and the number of credits that you will be enrolled for. 标题12-30(全职), 9-11(三节时间), 6-8 (half-time) and 1-5 (less than half time) refer to credits that you take for that term. Below these numbers are the dollar amounts that correspond with award types at the left. The fewer the credits, the lower the amount of financial aid offered. Loans are not available to you if you are enrolled for less than six credits. Because you enroll one term at a time, award information is provided by term.

There is a chart for each term that we anticipate you will be enrolled. 如果你有一个学期的奖励, the college is anticipating that you will attend only one term that academic year. If you plan to attend more than one term, you will want to contact your campus 财政援助办公室. Loan and work study amounts require additional action to receive/earn these funds.
