- Students receiving financial aid must be making satisfactory academic progress according to the University’s policy. See the academic section of catalog.
- Students who are United States citizens (including U.S. nationals) or permanent residents of the U.S. (possessing a Permanent Resident Card I-551) may be considered for financial aid. Other individuals who may be eligible for aid are those possessing a Conditional Green Card (I-551) or an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: “Refugee,” “Asylum Granted,” “Parolee” (I-94 confirms paroled for a minimum of one year and status has not expired), T-Visa holder (T-1, T-2, T-3, etc.), or “Cuban-Haitian Entrant,” or the holder of a valid certification of eligibility letter from the Department of Health and Human Services showing a designation of “Victim of Human Trafficking.” Students in the U.S. on a F-1 or F-2 student visa, a J-1 or J-2 exchange visitor visa, or a G-series visa (pertaining to international organizations) are, by definition, in this country on a temporary basis and are not eligible to receive federal or state student aid. Documentation of permanent residency status may be required prior to the awarding of financial aid.
- Students must not owe a refund to any federal (Pell, FSEOG) or state grant (NJ TAG, EOF and/or Distinguished/Urban Scholarship) to receive financial aid.
- Students will not be eligible to receive financial assistance from any source (federal, state and college) if they are in default on a student loan received through any federal program (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct Loans, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Stafford Loan and/or Federal PLUS Loan).
- Students awarded grants/scholarships from Felician University may not receive total grants/scholarships from all sources (institutional, federal, state and external aid) in excess of the total cost of tuition, comprehensive fees, and room and board, if applicable.
- The total amount of grants/scholarship which has been specifically designated for tuition assistance may not exceed the cost of tuition.
- In no case can a student’s total aid package from all sources (grants/scholarship, loans, and/or Federal Work-Study) exceed the student’s cost of education.
- Undergraduate students in their final semester needing fewer than 12 credits to complete their degree requirements will be considered full-time students. *
- Note: Federal Student Aid Regulations supersede this policy when determining eligibility for federal aid. NJ grants will not be awarded on a full-time basis under this clause if the student was not enrolled full-time in the prior semester.
