我如何申请经济资助?
Students apply for financial aid by completing the FAFSA and designating 立博体育登录 as a school to receive it. 如果需要额外的文件, 学生必须尽快回应这些要求.
我将如何以及何时被告知我有资格获得经济援助?
一旦你的经济援助文件完成，你的申请被审查, 您将在邮件和立博体育登录的电子邮件中收到一封奖励信. 获奖信将于4月开始邮寄.
Why does the FAFSA say that I have to include my parent(s) information if I support myself?
The federal definition of an independent student is very specific and does not necessarily mean that the parent(s) are supporting the student. However, the federal government feels that it is the parent(s') responsibility to assist their children in paying for their education. To the extent that parent(s) are unable to assist, financial aid is available to help out. 在经济援助方面，学生被认为是“独立的”, 如符合下列任何一项标准:
- Is 24 years old.
- 目前已婚.
- 是孤儿还是法庭的监护人.
- Is a Veteran.
- 受养人是否有一半以上的经济资助来自该学生.
- 是一名研究生.
- 是被解放的未成年人吗.
- 现在或曾经处于法定监护之下.
- 无家可归(详情见FAFSA)
Students who do not meet these criteria must provide their parent(s) information on the application. An appeal process is available for the student with extenuating circumstances that make it impossible for the student to obtain their parent(s)' information. Examples of extenuating circumstances are listed on the Dependency Status Review Form which can be found on our forms section of the website.
如果我有不寻常的情况，我该怎么办?

我收到一封信，说我没有资格申请MASSGrant, 这是否意味着我没有资格获得经济援助?
Not necessarily. 立博体育登录’s financial aid eligibility criteria are different from the criteria to qualify for the MASSGrant. 如果你被拒绝了MASSGrant，你仍然有资格申请我们的其他援助项目.
如果我从大学退学怎么办? 我还能保留我的助学金吗?
如果你去上课, 你有权保留一部分助学金, 根据你正式退出的日期. 完成正式的退出程序是非常重要的. A federally mandated calculation is done to determine how much of the financial aid you can keep. Basically, you earn a percentage of your financial aid for each day you attend classes. 例如，如果你参加了30%的学期，你可以保留30%的经济援助. Students who receive state grants or tuition waivers may be able to keep enough grant or waiver just to cover the costs of their tuition and fee charges. Once you attend 60% of the semester, you are considered to have earned 100% of your financial aid. If you receive a financial aid refund check and withdraw before earning 100% of your financial aid, 你可能会被要求退还其中的一些资金. 更多信息可在财政援助办公室.
