Financial Aid

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for financial aid you must:

• be a US citizen or eligible non-citizen
• be registered with Selective Service
• attend a participating college or university
• be working towards a degree or certificate
• be making satisfactory academic progress
• not owe a refund on a Federal Grant
• not be in default on a Federal Educational Loan

Your financial aid award letter is based on full time enrollment (for undergraduates, at least 12 credit hours per semester) and your living arrangements as indicated on your FAFSA. If at any time you change your enrollment and/or living arrangements, you must notify the Financial Aid Office. A change in one of these could result in a change to your financial aid awards.

Lewis University Institutional Aid is to be used by students pursuing their first undergraduate degree and for direct costs only at the University. To be eligible to receive institutional monies you must maintain full time enrollment status, except in your graduating semester, and not be enrolled in the LUCEP program or a contract/cohort program.

Renewal of the Lewis University Merit Scholarships is based on maintaining the GPA listed in the announcement letter received from the Admissions Office.

Financial aid funds are disbursed to your University account on a semester by semester basis after the add/drop period. If your University account has a credit balance after all financial aid funds have been disbursed, you are eligible to receive those excess funds within 14 days from the date that credit balance occurs.
