Letter from the Office of Financial Aid

Dear Student:



Welcome and thank you for your interest in Cambridge College. As you complete your admissions process and make preparations to attend, we would like to offer you some important information regarding the financial aid process.



Cambridge College offers financial aid to students who are in the Undergraduate, Graduate or Doctoral programs and are enrolled at least half time. For the Undergraduate Programs you must be enrolled in at least 6 credits each term and for the Graduate and Doctoral Programs you must be enrolled in at least 4 credits each term. Students who are in the Undergraduate program may be eligible to receive federal grants, state grants, Federal Stafford Loans and work-study. For the Graduate and Doctoral programs students may be eligible for Federal Stafford Loans and work-study.



To be considered for any financial aid offered at Cambridge College it is required of all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The other required document is the Cambridge College Financial Aid Application. Other documentation may be requested; however we will contact you if necessary.





The Financial Aid process can be found on the Cambridge College website, by going to http://www.cambridgecollege.edu/financialaid/financialaid_process.cfm. Simply follow the instructions to complete all the required steps. Each step brings you to the appropriate website to complete that process. Any financial aid documents that we require can be found on our website under Financial Aid Forms.



Through the generosity of our alumni, foundations, corporations and friends, Cambridge College is able to offer scholarships to its students who demonstrate the ability and need. To be considered for one of the many scholarships offered, students must have a FAFSA on file with the Financial Aid Office along with a completed Cambridge College Scholarship Application.



Cambridge College offers a wonderful educational experience to the working adult. Should you have any questions regarding the financial aid process, please feel free to call 800-877-GRAD ext 1440.



Best Regards,



Office of Financial Aid
