Institutional aid is any financial assistance received directly from Southeastern College. Apply for institutional aid by submitting an admissions application.
The primary means of applying for federal aid is by filling out the FAFSA. This form will determine your eligibility for federal aid, including loans and need-based institutional aid.
Loans are the largest financial resource available to students. Loans allow students to borrow money at low interest rates and no collateral. Most student loans do not need to be repaid until the student graduates or drops to less than half-time status.
Students are reminded that borrowing money for college is a serious financial obligation. When signing a loan promissory note, you enter into a legal agreement. Consider this commitment carefully when taking out a loan.
