Welcome to 金融援助 & 军事/Veteran Services
What is 金融援助?
Financial aid is money from federal, state and institutional sources intended to help students with college expenses. We are committed to providing information about financial aid processes and resources so students may pursue educational and career goals at OPE电子竞技官网.
**Notice from Department of Education**
The updates to the 2024-45 FAFSA have caused a delay in the Department of Education's processing of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 2024-25 FAFSA student information will not be available to schools to review or make financial aid offers until mid-March 2024. If you have any questions, please email 金融援助 at FinancialAid@yongyan.net.
There are generally five types of financial aid:
- 资助: Most grants are sources of financial aid which generally do not have to be repaid as long as you complete your classes. 奖助金 can come from the federal government, your state government, your college, or a private or nonprofit organization. Do your research and be sure to meet application deadlines!
- 勤工助学: The Federal Work-Study program provides part-time hourly employment for students who demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA. 看到OPE电子竞技官网的 Federal Work-Study opportunities
