Gwinnett College coordinates a variety
of programs of financial aid for entering
and continuing students including
Pell Grant, FSEOG Grant, Subsidized
and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and
other Alternative Loan Sources. The
primary purpose of financial aid is
to provide monetary assistance to
students who can benefit from post-secondary
education, but who cannot do so without
such assistance. It is believed that
when an individual has the opportunity
to develop his or her capacity, that
person not only enhances him or herself,
but contributes greatly to society.
The Financial Aid Office at Gwinnett
College is dedicated to:
- Helping to remove the financial
barrier for those students who are
unable to pay
- Easing the financial burden
for those who are more able to pay,
but still are in need of financial
assistance
- Striving to realize the goal
of equality of educational opportunity
- Providing a consistent method
for measuring the ability of families
to pay for educational costs
- Providing all students the opportunity
to apply for aid
- Financial aid is to be offered
after a determination that the resources
of the family are insufficient to
meet the student's educational cost.
The Financial Aid Office makes the
determination; then, a plan is recommended
to the student that may include a
combination of more than one type
of aid. The College provides student
financial aid to eligible applicants
and priority is given to students
who have the most financial need.
Most awards are renewable if the
financial need still exists, if academic
and citizenship records are adequate,
and if the student is making satisfactory
progress. Gwinnett College makes every
effort to assist students who need
financial aid to complete their college
program.
For students and prospective students
who have already completed their FAFSA,
you can obtain a copy of your Student
Aid Report (SAR) on the Department
of Education's FAFSA website.
