interest while in school on Unsubsidized Stafford Loans.) Repayment begins

half-time enrollment. To apply, the student must complete the FAFSA.

Work-study jobs are available at the College. While most positions are on
campus, some jobs may be available in local community service agencies.
Students can work part-time while enrolled in school. If awarded FWS,

per week depends upon: (1) financial need, (2) class schedule, and (3) job
requirements. To apply, the student must complete the FAFSA .
