Harold Washington College Orientation Guide

There, but always changing. Financial Aid is dependent upon Federal and State monies. The money comes with frequently changing rules and regulations to which the college must adhere. Programs dispensing financial aid frequently change. The amount of money available is constantly changing, so the pool of dollars does not last forever.
For that reason, early application is better than late application.

There are four types of financial aid: grants, scholarships, work study, and loans. The first two come with no repayment obligations. Work study provides a student with the chance to earn money. Loans must be repaid with interest.

Students must apply for financial aid every year. Students must make satisfactory academic progress to be considered for financial aid continuance. If a student withdraws or is withdrawn from any or all of his/her classes, financial aid eligibility and/or the amount of financial aid received may be affected. If the financial aid award is reduced, the student may owe a refund to the college.
