An Overview
Some basic information regarding Financial Aid for the School of Professional and Adult Studies.
Student Eligibility
To receive student financial aid, there are various eligibility requirements that must be met. The student is required to:
- Have financial need
- Have a high school diploma or GED certificate
- Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
- Have a valid Social Security Number
- Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
- Register for selective service, if required
- Not be in default on a federal student loan or owe an overpayment on a federal student grant
- Fill out and sign the statement of education purpose and non-default on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) yearly
- Fill out and sign the Montreat College Financial Aid Lifetime Application (new as of 08-09)
If you have all of your Financial Aid paperwork in, then you will need to pay your deposit and talk to your advisor about forming a schedule. Once the Financial Aid Office has all your paperwork and schedule, you will be awarded. Your aid will not disburse until after you start your classes. If all your Financial Aid Paperwork is in, your bill will be held until your award letter is sent to you. Be prepared to pay for books for your second course out of pocket. You may be reimbursed once financial aid is applied to your account.
Communication with Financial Aid:
The most efficient method of contact for the financial aid office is email. Please make sure we have your current email address to make sure you receive the best service from our office. Once you are a student, all official communication will go to your Montreat email address, and you will be responsible for checking it regularly.
Financial Need:
Most students' financial aid funds are awarded based on financial need. The exceptions to this are unsubsidized Stafford Loans.
Your Account:
The Accounting Office (where all your funding will be deposited) is located at the Charlotte Campus.
