GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible for Federal and State financial aid at Framingham State
University, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and be
enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) in a degree program at Framingham State
University. Additionally, the applicant must:

 * Maintain satisfactory academic progress towards a degree.
 * Not be in default of any educational loans or owe a refund of any federal
   grants to any institution.
 * Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
 * Provide all requested documents to the Financial Aid Office.

 

Determining Eligibility

Framingham State University follows the United States Department of Education
guidelines in administering its financial aid programs. The basic principle
behind financial aid is that the student and his/her family are primarily
responsible for meeting as much of the cost of attending college as is
reasonably possible. Financial aid is a supplement to family resources if family
resources are insufficient to meet college costs.

There are three components in determining eligibility for financial aid: Cost of
Attendance, Student Aid Index (SAI), and financial need. Stated simply:

 * Cost of Attendance – Student Aid Index = Financial Need

The cost of attendance is determined by the Financial Aid Office.  Standard
average expense budgets are used for students based on where they will be living
during the academic year.

The Student Aid Index is based on the information supplied on the FAFSA and
other application materials that are submitted to the Financial Aid Office. The
SAI is calculated using the U. S. Department of Education guidelines and a
process called "need analysis." This process considers several components such
as:

 * Family income
 * Number of family members
 * Family assets (not including the primary residence)
 * Essential family living costs

Financial Aid Offers

Once your financial need is determined, a financial aid offer is prepared. The
package may be a combination of grant, work, and loan programs.

The amount of financial need that is met depends upon the availability of funds,
the number of eligible applicants, and the date your financial aid file is
completed. Please be advised that financial aid eligibility is dependent upon
housing and enrollment statuses. Should your enrollment or housing status
change, please contact the Financial Aid Office as your financial aid package
could be affected.

After your file is complete, a financial aid offer letter will be sent to you.
If you are an incoming student who has been accepted, filed your FAFSA, and
submitted any requested documents to the Financial Aid Office by March 1, you
can expect to receive an award letter by May 1. Spring applicants who meet the
November 1st deadline will receive notification of their award in December.

Upon receipt of your offer letter, read the enclosed award letter guide
carefully. If you wish to decline or reduce any of the aid offered to you,
indicate that at the bottom of the award letter and return it to us. You can
also decline awards by sending us an email.

It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Financial Aid Office of
all financial assistance received from other sources. Types of assistance that
must be reported include private scholarships, tuition waivers, veterans'
benefits, Massachusetts Rehabilitation assistance, etc.

All forms of outside assistance must be considered in the financial aid package.
Outside assistance received after aid has been awarded by the Financial Aid
Office may cause the financial aid package to be adjusted. If your financial aid
package must be adjusted due to the receipt of outside assistance, the policy
followed at FSU is to reduce your financial aid in the following order: Direct
Loans, other self-help, (such as Massachusetts No Interest Loan, Federal
Work-Study), and Grants.

Financial Aid Appeals

If you feel the FAFSA is not reflective of your family’s situation after you
receive your financial aid award, you can appeal the decision. Appeals must be
in writing and submitted with documentation to the Financial Aid Office.

Grounds for an appeal may include but are not limited to loss of job, loss of
other income, a death in the family, a divorce or separation in the family, and
unusually high medical bills. All appeals are handled on an individual basis.

Payment of Financial Aid Awards

If you have been awarded financial aid before the due date of your bill with the
University, your aid (excluding Federal Work-Study) will be applied directly to
your bill. The bill is sent to you via your student email by the Student
Accounts Office. If you have been awarded more aid than is required to meet your
obligation to the University, the excess will be refunded to you and it can be
used to meet other educational expenses. You may use excess funds available to
you up to a maximum of $700 (possibly more for Pell Grant recipients) at the
University Bookstore during the first month of classes. These funds will be
available to you on your student I.D. card. Any unused excess funds will be
refunded approximately three weeks after the add/drop period ends. It is the
policy of the Student Accounts Office to first credit money received to the
student bill.

If you withdraw from the University during the semester, you may not be eligible
for your entire financial aid award. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if
you decide to withdraw or take a leave of absence to see how your financial aid
may change as a result. If you do not earn any credits during a semester, you
may be considered an “unofficial” withdrawal, and some of your federal and state
financial aid may need to be returned.
