Types of Aid

Anderson University awards financial aid on the basis of:

• Documented financial need (determined by the FAFSA)
• Academic aptitude and achievement
• Contribution to the college community

Types of Financial Aids:

• Scholarships are intended for students who have demonstrated academic achievement. Most are made based on merit; however, some may vary according financial need.
• Grants do not require repayment and are for cases of documented financial need.
• Loans are available to help meet expenses, and must be repaid after college.
• Employment Opportunities allow students to work part-time during the academic year. Wages can be used to pay for college expenses.
• Tax Relief Act 1997 provides taxpayers two new nonrefundable tax credits—the HOPE Scholarship Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit—for payments made for tuition and fees (no books).
