SCHOLARSHIPS

LOANS

Scholarships are awarded based on any number of criteria – and they don’t need to be repaid.

In order to become eligible for loans, you must fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at fafsa.gov.

I would absolutely recommend this school, and this program because there is no better way to gain on the job experience, along with the many resources that Cal U has to offer. The online program allowed me to work around my many obligations with the school that I work in.

If you’re like most students, you will probably need some type of student loan to help finance your education.

Most student loans have relatively low interest rates, several repayment options from which to choose, circumstances under which repayment can be postponed, and other favorable terms and conditions.

• Federal Direct Loan Program • Federal Direct Plus Loans for Graduate Students

• Private Alternative Loans

. . .

They are available to all undergraduate and graduate students who meet certain eligibility guidelines.

I started because I wanted a new challenge, and to fill in the gaps left by my undergraduate program.

Fortunately, the structure of the program allowed me to work at my own pace and take less credits during busy times of year.
