A Federal Pell Grant, generally, does not need to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. How much you will receive depends on the expected family contribution (which is determined by the U.S. Department of Education) whether you are a full-time or part-time student and whether you attend school for a full academic year or less. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed each year.
A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is for undergraduates with exceptional need. An FSEOG does not need to be repaid. There is no guarantee that every eligible student will be able to receive an FSEOG; the student will be awarded on the basis of availability of funds at our school, with priority given to students who have lowest Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) and highest unmet need. To be considered for this award you must have a complete (FAFSA) on file at BMC. BMC priority filing date is March 1.
Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant (TEACH)provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. IMPORTANT: If you fail to complete the service obligation, all amounts of TEACH Grants that you received will be converted to a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed each year.
Students may be eligible for the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant Program if they are not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant on the basis of Expected Family Contribution but meet the remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility requirements, and their parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. armed forces and died as a result of military service performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11, and students were under 24 years of age or enrolled in college at least part-time at the time of the parent's or guardian's death. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed each academic year.
To qualify for these loans, students must be enrolled at least half-time. Students may go to http://studentaid.gov for additional information on Direct Loan Programs such as maximum limits, annual limits, aggregate limits, sample repayment schedule, loan terms, etc.
The Direct Subsidized Loan is a low-interest loan made to students who demonstrate financial need based upon results from their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Undergraduates may borrow $3,500 for the freshman year, $4,500 for the sophomore year, and $5,500 for the junior and senior years. Undergraduate students may borrow an aggregate limit of $23,000. Repayment begins after a six-month grace period once the student graduates, withdraws or drops below half-time status. Repayment may take as long as ten years.
The Federal Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loan is a low-interest loan made to students and is not based upon financial need. Students may borrow a combination of Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans but may not exceed the annual or maximum loan limits. Repayment terms are the same as the Federal Subsidized Direct Loan.
Parents of dependent undergraduate students may apply for a Direct PLUS Loan to help pay their child's education expenses as long as certain eligibility requirements are met. For a Direct PLUS Loan, the parent must complete a Direct PLUS Loan Application and Master Promissory Note (MPN) online at http://studentaid.gov. The student must also have a complete Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file.
The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs to students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses. To apply for work study a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The federal work-study wage will be the current federal minimum wage. The federal work-study award depends on when the student applies, the level of need, and the funds available for our school.
