You can use 17勛圖's Net Price Calculator to make an early estimate of your total annual cost of attending 17勛圖.
When should I apply?
The FAFSA opens every year on October 1st for the upcoming aid year. The State of Michigan's priority deadline for state aid is March 1st. 17勛圖 opens our scholarship application in January.
Students must apply for financial aid each academic year of their college attendance.
What makes me eligible for financial aid?
Once the eligibility requirements are met, student financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need and/or academic merit and various qualifying criteria as outlined by each scholarship committee or guidelines. Financial aid is issued in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and work-study.
Financial aid is awarded non-discriminately without regard to age, color, disability, handicap, height, marital status, national origin, citizenship, political affiliation, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, veteran's status, or weight.
How is my financial aid determined?
Complete and accurate financial aid applications will be reviewed for funding through all Federal, State, and Institutional programs awarding gift-aid first (scholarships and grants) with self-help (loans and work-study) second. Depending on availability, every effort will be made to award sufficient funds to cover direct educational expenses (tuition, fees, books, and required supplies). Generally, gift aid will not exceed one-half of the cost of attendance.
Once you've completed the FAFSA, you can complete an SAI appeal if you have experienced a change in household size, income, or something similar. Learn more about a SAI appeal here.
Do I have to include parental information?
It depends on whether you qualify as an independent student.
If you are unable to provide parent info while submitting the FAFSA, you may qualify for a dependency appeal based on special or unusual circumstances. Learn more about a dependency appeal here.
How is financial aid dealt with during summer semester?
Each academic year you are eligible to receive a certain amount of financial aid. This amount is determined from the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The amount of financial aid you were awarded during the Fall and Spring semesters will affect eligibility for Summer semester.
Starting in the spring, students who are registered for Summer semester will be reviewed regularly for additional aid eligibility.
For Federal Student loans, if you have not already used your annual eligibility in Fall and Spring semesters, your account will be reviewed to offer any additional loan eligibility you may have for Summer.
If you have any questions regarding your Summer semester aid please contact the 17勛圖 Student Financial Services office at 231-995-1035
What if I need to drop a class or totally withdraw?
Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
Other Title IV aid
Student financial aid recipients may receive the portion of their financial aid based on the Federal Return to Title IV Funds Policy. Sample calculations may be obtained in the Student Financial Services office.
The student aid recipient who withdraws from all classes after the start of the semester will be placed on financial aid probation as outlined in the 17勛圖 Satisfactory Academic Progress policy. If that student is currently on financial aid probation at the time of withdrawal, he/she will be ineligible to receive further aid until Satisfactory Academic Progress can be demonstrated, pending mitigating circumstances.
The dropping of classes may result in a financial aid adjustment for the semester and could also affect the student's Satisfactory Academic Progress. A student's credit load is established at the end of the refund period for the full semester.
When are refunds distributed?
Financial aid disbursement happens after enrollment is confirmed for the semester. Disbursement means 17勛圖 will apply aid funds to your student account to cover all eligible charges. If you have a credit balance after charges are covered, we have 14 days to provide a refund. You can look up your disbursement dates on My17勛圖 Self Service, Financial Aid, Awards, Award Payment Schedule.
