Financial Aid

One of the most difficult aspects of attending college can be figuring out how to pay tuition. The good news is that there are many options for receiving financial aid. These include grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities. During the 2010-11 academic year, 4,108 Bucks students received some form of financial aid, with the total amount of aid exceeding $20 million.

The following will help guide you through the process of applying for and receiving some of these grants, loans and scholarships.

1. Start with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the FAFSA, as it is more commonly known. You will need the college's Federal ID Code: 003239.
2. See these deadlines.
3. Consider Bucks scholarships and search for other scholarships.
4. Loans are available through the Federal Direct Loan Program.
5. A federal workstudy or campus based job is a way to earn as you learn.
6. You can estimate your eligibility for aid using the calculator.
7. If, based on your FAFSA, you are determined to be eligible for a PHEAA State Grant, you will receive an email to request additional information directly from PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency).
