应用ing for 本科 金融援助 (FAFSA)

Students eating ice cream and hanging out

Saint Mary's will consider you for federal, 状态, and institutional aid if you meet the following criteria:

  • All financial aid applications are filed prior to admission
  • You are an admitted, readmitted or currently enrolled student in a degree program at the college (要求 before notification of awards can be made)
  • You are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. Federal and 状态 funds are also restricted on similar basis
  • You are a student registered on a full-time basis. Students who register less than full-time, but at least half-time, will only be considered for the federal loan and grant programs. Students enrolled less than half-time can be considered for federal Pell Grant only.

Saint Mary’s College of California policy is that students who matriculate as freshmen are eligible for four years of Saint Mary’s aid; if a student transfers in as a sophomore will have three years of eligibility, as a junior will have two years of eligibility, 等. Cal Grant is only available for a maximum of four years per eligibility determined by California Student 援助 Commission (CSAC). So students who continue enrollment after four years will only be considered for federal aid (Pell Grant and student loans) per lifetime aggregate limits.
