Application Tips for Scholarships
Received a Private Scholarship?
|
Emmanuel has a generous policy regarding the treatment of private scholarship awards as students who are awarded a private scholarship will not have their existing financial aid reduced unless the total of all scholarships and grants exceeds direct costs. Students who are awarded a private scholarship may also use it as a credit towards the bill before the funds are received by providing our office with a copy of the scholarship notice. Any private scholarships you notify us of will be considered pending until we receive the funds from you or the scholarship agency. |
Study Abroad
If you are considering studying abroad, in addition to meeting with the college's Study Abroad Coordinator, we encourage you to meet with the Office of Student Financial Services.
Although Emmanuel scholarships and grants are not available for use during your time abroad, there is federal, state and private funding that can be used to pay for your abroad costs.
The Office of Student Financial Services can help you determine which options may be best for you and assist you with the required paperwork.
The prospect of borrowing and repaying educational loans can be intimidating for some students. Federal student loans, however, are typically limited to amounts that make repayment manageable. Additionally, there are several federal loan repayment and forgiveness options available. We encourage students to contact their loan servicer for specific information regarding their loans.
