GETTING STARTED

Determining financial need

The financial need of the student may be determined using various factors (e.g.: reimbursements, stipends, scholarships, etc). Determining financial need will require the student to submit an Institutional Grant Form to EDvance College for review. Availability of other sources of funding will affect the student award as well.  All outside scholarship/grant awards will be applied to the direct cost of education (tuition and fees) prior to any institutional grant award.

All students who provide the required financial information are considered for the grant at the time of awarding.  Due to limited funding, not all students who are eligible will receive this award.  The amount is evaluated and determined each academic year.

This process and your unique situation will be discussed with you during your initial conversations with an EDvance Student Success Advocate.
