Academic promise and financial need are two basic requirements for eligibility. The satisfactory academic progress policy can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office or on-line at www.colin.edu. Financial aid is not automatically renewable. All recipients of financial aid must re-apply annually. Receipt of applications for financial assistance will be acknowledged as soon as possible after arriving in the Financial Aid Office. Students who have been awarded financial aid will usually receive this award each term during registration, and the aid should be used to pay fees when registering. Any remaining aid after payment of fees can be used for other educational expenses. Refunds will not be available until after the eighth week of each semester. It is the intention of the Financial Aid Office to serve the students. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance if you need it. Please take time to look at our web site at www.colin.edu/financialaid.
