Students enrolled in the Mount’s Accelerated and Weekend programs may seek assistance through federal and state-funded programs. To qualify for financial aid, students must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis, i.e., at least six credits per traditional semester (i.e. fall, spring, etc). Most financial aid will be in the form of deferred student loans, though some students may be eligible to receive federal and/or state grants. Those receiving financial aid should be aware of the academic policies governing continued participation in financial aid programs, stated below. Students are also encouraged to check with employers regarding the availability of employer-sponsored tuition assistance programs. Students interested in receiving financial aid need to plan accordingly. Because enrollment status is critical to this process, students should map their coursework on at least a semester basis. This means preregistering for all courses they intend to take in the semester’s modules. For specific information on applying for financial aid, please see our website at www.msmary.edu/adultfinancialaid. VETERANS BENEFITS
