Financial aid consisting of scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment, through the Federal Work-study program is designed to supplement a student’s own resources. Student financial aid may be available for an entire academic year, including summer semester or for part of the year based on a student's enrollment.
Per federal and state regulations, primary considerations for recipients’ financial aid eligibility are financial need, U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizen status, and the potential to succeed in an academic program at Tri-C. However, some types of financial aid are based on criteria other than financial need.
