Types of Financial Aid
CSB and SJU Grants
Each college offers grants to qualified students. Eligibility for
these funds is based on documented financial need.
Minnesota State Grant Program
This program is available to all Minnesota residents with
eligibility based on financial need as defined by the state. The state requires students
to enroll for 15 credits per semester to be considered full time.
Federal Pell Grants
This federal grant is available to all U.S. citizens who have not
earned a bachelor's degree. Eligibility is based solely on documented financial need as
determined by the FAFSA.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are
limited to students with exceptional financial need who show academic promise.
Army ROTC Scholarships
These scholarships cover a portion of tuition, fees and books and
are available to students who are enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and who
show potential for officer leadership. Scholarship eligibility is not based on financial
need. In addition, ROTC Scholarship recipients may be eligible for CSB or SJU ROTC room
and board incentives.
Student Employment
Approximately 1,150 part-time jobs are available on each campus,
with a limited number of jobs also available off campus. Student employment is awarded on
the same basis as other types of financial aid; that is, documented financial need and
satisfactory academic standing. Students normally work five to 10 hours per week and
generally earn from $1,250 to $2,600 a year. Wages for student employment are paid from
federal work-study, institutional or state of Minnesota funds. Students may use their
earnings to pay for tuition, room and board costs or for personal expenses. |
