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).
I understand that any form of federal financial assistance is based on demonstrated financial
need. Need is determined by the cost of my educational program, which is based on the number
of credits I enroll in each term, less the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) and any other form
of financial assistance (i.e. employer reimbursement, outside scholarships).
I understand that if there is a change in my enrollment plans from what I have certified in Section
II of this form, I must notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance and that my financial aid
award may be revised. If information received during the process of Verification changes the
result of my expected family contribution, a revision and/or cancellation of my award may occur.
If my award includes a Federal Direct Loan, I understand I must contact my servicer, in writing,
within ten (10) days if I: Change my name. Change my address. Change my telephone number.
Change my graduation date. Withdraw from the University. Change my enrollment status.
I understand that in order to continue to receive my federal, state, or institutional financial
assistance, I must maintain satisfactory academic progress. If I am placed on academic
1
probation or dismissed from the University, my award will be cancelled for subsequent
semesters.
I understand that federal loan funds will only be awarded/disbursed in a term where I am
enrolled at least half time, 6 credits or more.
I have read and understand each statement listed above.
