2019-2020 SVC Financial Aid Application
In addition to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), Sacred Heart University
requires that you also complete this form for financial assistance. The information on this form
helps us determine grant and scholarship eligibility and provide a more accurate initial award
offer. You must submit this form before any financial assistance can be awarded. Please note
that in order to be eligible to receive financial assistance a student must:

Be accepted and attend Saint Vincent's College at Sacred Heart University and be
matriculated in an undergraduate degree program or enrolled in one of the approved
for federal aid certificate programs.
•
Not be in default on a federal student loan.
•
Not owe a refund on a federal student grant/loan.
•
Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
•
Maintain satisfactory academic progress (minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above for
Undergraduates).
