Grants
Grants are available to undergraduate students and do not have to be repaid.
Loans
Loans are available to both undergraduate and graduate students and must be repayed. Students must be enrolled at least half time (six credits each semester) and cannot borrow more than their cost of attendance minus other financial aid received. Loans are obtained from lenders selected by applicants.
Work-Study Employment
On-campus jobs are available under the Federal Work-Study and Capitol College Work-Study programs. These employment programs offer students the opportunity to earn money to meet educational and personal expenses during the year as well as on-the-job experience.
Federal Work-Study is awarded by the Financial Aid Office to eligible students who have filed the FAFSA. Funding is made available from the U.S. Department of Education. During fall and spring semesters, students cannot work more than 20 hours each week.
Students not awarded Federal Work-Study can consider employment under the Capitol College Work-Study Program. Funding is provided by various campus departments. Admitted students may contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. Your employer decides the maximum hours you can work each week.
