• Be enrolled in good standing
• Maintain Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress
• Demonstrate financial need
• Be registered with the Selective Service System (for male students between 18 and 25 years old and not a current member of the active armed forces)
• Not have a drug conviction for an offense that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid (such as grants or loans)
• Enroll in one of our Title-IV eligible programs
• Not be in default on any educational loan and not owe a refund on a grant received for attendance at any post-secondary institution
