Financial Aid at Centenary College

For many families, the price of a college education is the single largest investment they will ever make next to buying a home. It is also the one investment that brings the greatest rewards in terms of professional opportunity, income growth, and personal satisfaction.

To pay for college, it pays to do your homework! There are a large number of Web sites, government agencies, and private sources to help you in your quest.

Remember: There's no such thing as a typical student. Every student has different reasons and needs, but all have the same goal: to get a college education.

Types of Financial Aid:

  • Federal and State Loans - Offered by the federal and state government, these low-interest loans allow you to repay tution on affordable terms.

Tips for Getting Started:

1. Use the handy HESAA Tuition Aid Grant Award Estimator to determine your eligibility. The link opens in a new browser window.

 

2. Visit our Seven Steps to Apply Web page to learn step-by-step how the financial aid process works from application to acceptance.

 

3. Apply for financial aid as soon as your parent's 2007 federal tax return is prepared. This improves your chances of getting the funding you need. Start with the federal government, then look into state programs and private funding.

4. Watch out for individuals and companies that offer financial aid advice, often for very high fees. They seldom deliver what they promise.
