Applying for Financial Aid with Admission
For those requiring financial aid to attend 海角社区, you must complete the financial aid application process while applying for admission.
Students admitted to 海角社区 who do not apply for need-based institutional financial aid by the published financial aid application admission deadlines will be required to successfully complete 16 blocks at 海角社区 before they are eligible to appeal for institutional grant assistance if their financial situation has changed significantly since they entered 海角社区. If during any of your four years at 海角社区 your family may need additional funding options to afford your college expenses, our office recommends you apply for need-based financial aid during the admission process.
Financial aid deadlines mirror the admission application deadlines. Students who do not complete their financial aid application on time place their eligibility for admission in jeopardy.
It is necessary for students to re-apply each year for financial aid.
International students who were admitted to 海角社区 and did not apply for need-based institutional financial aid by the published financial aid deadlines must demonstrate that they have the resources to fully fund their 海角社区 education for eight semesters.
Financial Aid applications or appeals will not be accepted after admission decions have been released. Students who do not apply or qualify for need-based aid at time of admission will not be eligible to receive financial assistance for the duration of their time at 海角社区.

We strongly urge you to explore the possibility of financial aid as you plan your college education. To assist in this endeavor, we recommend that you utilize our Net Price Calculator to help estimate the cost of attendance. It is necessary for students to re-apply each year for financial aid.
