Loans and Federal Economic Aid

All federal aid is based on the student's need and does not have to be repaid. Pell Grant is automatically awarded to eligible students through their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application. Students without immigration status are not eligible for federal financial aid. If you are undocumented, do not submit the FASFA form. If you are unsure, contact the Hispanic/Latino Cultural Center or the Financial Aid Office.
