How do I apply for financial aid?<\/strong><\/p>\n You must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can complete a paper FAFSA or complete it on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Saint Peters University\u00a0Federal School Code is 002638.<\/p>\n What you will need in order to complete the FAFSA. You will need records for income earned in the year prior to when you plan to start school.<\/strong><\/p>\n What happens after you apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n You will receive a federal Student Aid Report (SAR). You can expect the SAR to be mailed to your home in two to six weeks after you mail or transmit your SAR to the federal processor. You must review this report for accuracy. We recommend that if corrections are necessary, that you bring the SAR to the Financial Aid Office immediately for assistance in making corrections to the SAR. If you are selected for verification, you will also be required to provide copies of the tax returns for individuals whose income was included on the application. Saint Peter’s University\u00a0Financial Aid office will notify the selected students of additional documents required.<\/p>\n What will the University\u00a0receive?<\/strong><\/p>\n SPC will receive your Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). The federal processor will transmit an electronic eligibility file called an ISIR to the University\u00a0if you correctly listed SPC’s code number 002638 when you filed your FAFSA. SPC will review the ISIR for accuracy and request missing documents if you are selected for verification or if corrections are needed. You will receive a follow-up letter for missing documents and missing forms that are required to make your file complete.<\/p>\n What is Financial Aid?<\/strong><\/p>\n Financial aid can include grants, scholarships, loans and Federal Work Study. At Saint Peter’s Graduate School Financial Aid consists of loans only. The loans available are federal Grad Plus Loans, Stafford Loans, both Subsidized and Unsubsidized as well as private alternative loans. The student must file a FAFSA in order to be eligible. The student will have to meet certain criteria to continue to be eligible for these each year (maintain a certain GPA, be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Loans are borrowed funds and must be paid back under the conditions of the loan program.<\/p>\n How is my financial aid package determined?<\/strong><\/p>\n Your financial aid eligibility is determined by taking the Cost of Attendance which will include both direct (billed costs i.e., tuition and fees) and your indirect costs (estimated expenses for cost of living i.e., books, clothing, travel, etc..) and subtracting the EFC (Expected Family Contribution as calculated from the FAFSA). The difference is your NEED. The financial aid department tries to cover your need with all of the sources of aid you are entitled to i.e., Grants, scholarships, Work-Study and Loans. For grad students, you are only eligible for loans.<\/p>\n Are there any deadlines for financial aid that I need to meet?<\/strong><\/p>\n All returning students are asked to file their FAFSA’s by April 1 for the upcoming academic year. All new students are asked to file their FAFSA’s as soon as possible after they are admitted into the Graduate School. This will eliminate any packaging delays at the start of school and will allow the loan funds to be received and applied to the bill and prevent any holds.<\/p>\n How many credits must I take to be eligible for financial aid?<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to be eligible for federal loans, i.e., Grad PLUS, Stafford loans both Subsidized and Unsubsidized, a student must be enrolled at least on a half-time basis. For the MBA, MS in Accounting and MSN, 6 credits per trimester is considered full-time, 3 credits is considered half-time. For the MA in Education, 9 credits per semester is considered full-time and 4.5 credits is considered half-time. A student can receive private educational loans if they are enrolled less than half-time (3 credits), per term. In addition, a student must be fully-admitted into a program leading to a degree or certificate.<\/p>\n In order to receive financial aid do I have to apply every year?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes. In order to receive consideration for as many programs as possible you should file the FAFSA by April 1 each year.<\/p>\n Do I need to submit tax returns?<\/strong><\/p>\n Only if the Office of Financial Aid sends you a letter requesting that you submit them. This may happen if you are selected for Federal Verification.<\/p>\n Is there an income level cutoff to qualify for financial aid?<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no set income cut-off for financial aid eligibility. There are many factors in addition to income which are used to determine eligibility for need based aid. In addition to income, things such as family size, number of people in college, assets, and students’ age are considered when determining a family’s ability to pay.<\/p>\n When will I get my award letter?<\/strong><\/p>\n For each academic year, if you are a new student and upon receipt of your FAFSA, you will receive your award letter starting March 15th. For returning students, upon receipt of your FAFSA, award letters will begin to be mailed out June 1st<\/sup><\/p>\n Why has my award been reduced?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many reasons why your financial aid award can be reduced. First, if there is a change to the information supplied on the FAFSA, it may change the EFC (estimated family contribution). If the EFC is lowered, it can result in revisions to scholarships and\/or grants. Factors that may affect the EFC are # in college, # in family, income and assets. In addition, other factors that can determine eligibility are SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress), less than full-time enrollment, availability of funds, etc. If you have questions regarding your award letter, you should contact the Student Financial Aid Office x6060 and speak with your counselor.<\/p>\n What determines eligibility for loans?<\/strong><\/p>\n Students are eligible for Federal Stafford loans during the academic year, if they are enrolled on at least a half-time basis (4.5 credits) per semester or ( 3 credits) per trimester and matriculated in a degree or certificate program. No Stafford Loans are processed for the summer terms unless there is remaining prior year eligibility. In addition, a student cannot be in default of a Federal Student Loan. Default, as cited by the U.S. Department of Education indicates that the student has failed to make payments of previous loan debt. Private alternative loans are available and have varying requirements for eligibility. See Saint Peter’s website for suggested lenders.<\/p>\n What is the maximum amount I can borrow?<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the Federal Stafford Loan program students are eligible to borrow up to:<\/p>\n Teaching Certificate students can borrow up to a maximum of $12,500.<\/p>\n Graduate students enrolled in the MSN, MBA, MSA, MA, up to a maximum of $20,500.<\/p>\n Grad PLUS, NJCLASS Loans and Alternative Loans, eligible to borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any aid received.<\/p>\n What is the difference between Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans?<\/strong><\/p>\n The federal government provides two types of Stafford Loans to students to assist them in paying their educational expenses. One type, Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan determined by the FAFSA. The federal government guarantees this loan and no interest accrues and no payments are made, until after the student completes his\/her program. The other type is a Unsubsidized Stafford Loan which is a non-need based loan. Interest does accrue on this loan while the student is enrolled, but no payments are made until after the student completes his\/her degree.<\/p>\n How do I apply for Loans?<\/strong><\/p>\n You first must sign your financial aid award letter indicating that you either accept or reject your federal loans. If you accept them you then should go to the Saint Peter’s University\u00a0website at huangshizhaopin.com<\/a> . Click on the following links.<\/p>\n For private Alternative Loans, select the lender of choice and complete the application and electronically sign and submit through the lenders website.<\/p>\n What Is an MPN or Master Promissory Note?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the application that you submit if you want to apply for a Federal Student Loan. By signing this MPN you promise to pay your loans back six months after graduation. You have up to 10 years to pay your loans back.<\/p>\n What is a Financial Agreement Form?<\/strong><\/p>\n This form is the way that a student and his or her family notify the Bursar of how they will pay their bill. It must be submitted each term by every student if they are signing up for a payment plan.<\/p>\n Who are the Financial Aid Counselors and how can I reach them?<\/strong><\/p>\n A \u2013 B Kathy Trovato ktrovato@huangshizhaopin.com<\/p>\n C \u2013 E Pablo Orantes porantes@huangshizhaopin.com<\/a><\/p>\n F \u2013 L Lorena Loayza lloayza@huangshizhaopin.com<\/p>\n M \u2013 R Katherine Alvarez kalvarez@huangshizhaopin.com<\/p>\n S \u2013 Z Shannon Porch sporch@huangshizhaopin.com<\/a><\/p>\n phones number is #201-761-6060.<\/p>\n Scholarship and Financial Aid Web Sites.<\/p>\n Saint Peter’s University\u00a0– huangshizhaopin.com<\/a> Discover more about Saint Peter’s University\u00a0and what we have to offer.<\/p>\n Federal Student Aid \u2013 www.studentaid.ed.gov<\/a> Get tips on how to apply for financial aid and complete the FAFSA on-line.<\/p>\n NJ Higher Education Student Assistance Authority \u2013 www.hesaa.org<\/a> Find out about NJ state aid programs.<\/p>\n Selective Service Registration – www.sss.gov<\/a> Register for selective Service<\/p>\n Mapping Your Future \u2013 www.mappingyourfuture.org<\/a> Plan a career; determine how to pay for school and prepare for college.<\/p>\n The Smart Student Guide for FA \u2013 www.finaid.org<\/a> Learn more about scholarships, loans, financial aid information and calculators.<\/p>\n Scholarship Searches:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fastweb \u2013 www.fastweb.com<\/a><\/p>\n SRN – www.srnexpress.com<\/a><\/p>\n Super College – www.supercollege.com<\/a><\/p>\n Wired Scholar – www.wiredscholar.com<\/a><\/p>\n Tuition Payment Options – <\/strong>Payment by check, money order or credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover): Checks or money orders should be made payable to Saint Peter’s University.
