’08 semester and students who have a Winthrop Scholarship
and want to use a semester of their scholarship eligibility.

Students
currently receiving aid on a probationary basis will not
receive an award notice until after spring grades are
posted.
-
Transfer

who are readmitted for the summer term but have not made
satisfactory academic progress must submit an Appeal to

processed.

Students
must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 hours at the
time of disbursement.
-
Pell Grant
funds will not be disbursed until you are enrolled in all
classes for which you registered.
NOTE: Any changes to enrollment status after the award is made
and accepted may cause a delay in disbursement of funds and/or a
reduction in funds.
-
Summer aid
awarded to currently enrolled students will be cancelled for
students who have not made satisfactory academic progress to
receive aid after spring 2008 grades are posted.
NOTE:
This process will require using your FAFSA pin number. If you
do not have a PIN number, you can request one at
www.pin.ed.gov or request a duplicate.
ALTERNATIVES:
NOTE: Other lenders may be used if they participate in ELM
Resources as Winthrop will utilize the services of ELM in the
processing of all Private loans.
-
Students who need additional
funds to pay college costs may wish to investigate private loans which may be
available to them. Private Student Loans should be the LAST resort as
they are more expensive than federal student and parent loans. These
non-federal loans are available from many sources. Interest rates, fees, and
payment plans are determined by the lender.
Most students will be expected to have a credit-worthy co-signer to be
considered for these loans.
Please see our Private loan Web page for more
information.
- Many students and their families
feel they need additional funds or payment options. If you are an undergraduate
student and reported your parent’s income, your parent may be eligible to
receive a Federal Parent Loan (PLUS). Your parents may apply for a PLUS
Loan to assist in paying the cost of college. They could be eligible to receive
up to your cost of attendance less any financial aid offered to you.
Please see out Parent loan Web
page for more information.
