Gwinnett College coordinates a variety
of programs of financial aid for entering
and continuing students including
Pell Grant, Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loans, and other Alternative
Loan Sources. The primary purpose
of financial aid is to provide monetary
assistance to students who can benefit
from post-secondary education, but
who cannot do so without such assistance.
It is believed that when an individual
has the opportunity to develop his
or her capacity, that person not only
enhances him or herself, but contributes
greatly to society. The Financial
Aid Office at Gwinnett College is
dedicated to:
- Helping to remove the financial
barrier for those students who are
unable to pay
- Easing the financial burden
for those who are more able to pay,
but still are in need of financial
assistance
- Striving to realize the goal
of equality of educational opportunity
- Providing a consistent method
for measuring the ability of families
to pay for educational costs
- Providing all students the opportunity
to apply for aid
- Financial aid is to be offered
after a determination that the resources
of the family are insufficient to
meet the student's educational cost.
The Financial Aid Office makes the
determination; then, a plan is recommended
to the student that may include a
combination of more than one type
of aid. The College provides student
financial aid to eligible applicants
and priority is given to students
who have the most financial need.
