Annual Application

Financial aid awards are for one academic year only. A new
financial application and other required forms must be submitted
each year. A separate application may be required for summer
school assistance and is usually available by March 1.

Enrollment Status

Students must be enrolled at least half-time to receive Federal Stafford Loans. If you receive loan funds before dropping below 6 semester hours in the Divinity School or below 4.5 semester hours in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, you may be required to refund all or a portion of those funds directly to the lender.

Also, you may no longer be eligible to defer repayment on loan/s borrowed for prior periods of enrollment. To receive any federal loan, a student must be accepted or enrolled in a degree or certificate program. Admittance to a graduate program as a "Special Student" does not meet the admissions criteria to qualify for federal financial aid. Renewal students must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory academic progress in order to receive financial aid.

Verification

The federal government requires schools to verify certain financial information of aid applicants who are selected for review and verification on the basis of certain prescribed computer edit checks. If your application is selected for verification, you must verify that the information you reported is correct. Therefore, it is important that you keep copies of your financial records, including your and/or your spouse’s U.S. income tax returns (from the previous year), records of benefits received from the Social Security Administration (Form SSA-1099), Department of Veteran Affairs, and other agencies. We may also ask you to complete a Federal Verification Worksheet. If we request documentation, you must submit it promptly, as we cannot disburse any financial aid funds until the verification process has been completed.

Outside Scholarships

Any recipient of additional aid from any source which is not included in his/her financial aid award letter (North Carolina Baptist Association, private church funding, outside scholarships, etc.) is required to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid. The receipt of additional aid may result in a reduction of any need-based award if total resources exceed computed financial need (except for unsubsidized loans, in which case, all sources of financial aid may not exceed the Cost of Attendance).
