  How to Apply

  The outline below is written for students new to 91福利社. It is necessary to apply for financial aid on an annual basis several months before the start of each new academic year.

  First: Apply for admission at the 91福利社 Admissions Office. Accepted students are automatically considered for 91福利社 scholarships based on academic merit. These are described under 91福利社 Academic Awards.

  Second: Complete and submit a FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. Be sure to have a copy of the report sent to 91福利社 (code 002323). Michigan residents should list 91福利社 as the first school on the FAFSA in order to be considered for a Michigan Tuition Grant or Competitive Scholarship. The Michigan Tuition Grant is available only to residents attending a private college or university. Pay special attention to the questions regarding state of residence and date of residence on the FAFSA since these areas determine eligibility for programs funded by the State of Michigan.

  Information about scholarships and financial aid is sent automatically to students when they first inquire about admission. 91福利社 admissions counselors are knowledgeable about financial aid programs and can answer most questions prospective students have. Questions can be made by phone at (313) 993-3350, FAX (313) 993-3347, or e-mail finaid@udmercy.edu. Additional information can be found on the Financial Aid Home Page at .

  Financial Aid Programs Based on Need

  This section includes programs and awards offered by the State of Michigan and the Federal government. Eligibility and funding may change annually for any program listed.

  The Michigan Tuition Grant

  The Michigan Tuition Grant Program provides financial assistance to students who are Michigan residents attending a qualifying private Michigan institution, including 91福利社. Students demonstrating financial need may be awarded grants up to $2,000 for up to five years of undergraduate study.

  The FAFSA must be received by the federal processor by March 1 preceding the academic year.

  The Michigan Tuition Grant is available annually to students who meet these requirements: U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status, Michigan residency, continuous residence in the State of Michigan for at least one full calendar year (beginning July 1 of the year prior to the year of application), demonstrated financial need, and satisfactory academic progress. Students may receive funds from only one of these programs each year. Complete the FAFSA each year by March 1.

  The Tuition Incentive Program

  The Tuition Incentive Program (TIP) is available to Michigan residents who have graduated from high school or obtained a GED certificate within the past four years, are under the age of 20 at the time of high school graduation or GED completion, and meet state-determined income guidelines. 91福利社 students may qualify for Phase II of the TIP program. To be eligible for Phase II students must have completed their associate degree or at least 56 transferable credit hours. Students may contact the TIP program toll free at 1-877-323-2287 for more information or an application.

  Federal Government Programs

  The Pell Grant Program

  The Pell Grant program provides the foundation for aid based upon demonstrated need for many students. Awards range from $335 to more than $5,920 for both full- and part-time students. Eligibility is determined by the following criteria: 1) U.S. citizenship or permanent residency 2) enrollment as an undergraduate student without a previous bachelor’s degree, and 3) demonstrated need.

  The SEOG Program

  The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a grant with awards ranging from $100 to $1,800 for undergraduate students enrolled on a full-time basis, 12-18 credits. An award of $100 - $500 for part-time undergraduate enrollment of 3-11 credits with Pell eligibility is also available. Eligibility is determined by the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office after a review of financial need.

  Perkins Loans

  Federal Carl Perkins Loans are available to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need. Repayment begins nine months after graduation (or if a student enrolls for less than six credit hours or ceases to enroll) and may extend over a ten-year period. For new borrowers, there is a nine-month grace period before repayment begins. Interest accrues from the beginning of the repayment period at an annual rate of five percent (5%) on the unpaid balance. This program also provides for partial or total loan cancellation for borrowers who enter certain fields of teaching, law enforcement, and certain public health service professions.  2017-2018 is the last year that loans can be made through this program.

  Nursing Student Loans

  Nursing Student Loans are available to students pursuing a bachelor's degree in the Nursing program. Students eligible for this program will be awarded a Nursing Student Loan rather than Federal Carl Perkins loan. Repayment and interest rates parallel those of the Federal Carl Perkins loan. There are currently no cancellations available.

  Federal Work-Study Program

  The Federal Work-Study Program enables students who qualify for financial aid to work on or off campus on a part-time basis while attending classes. Students' earnings may not exceed their financial need. Applications are available from the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office.

  Federal Direct Stafford Loans

  The subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan Program provides low interest loans to students. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student has graduated, or is enrolled for less than six credit hours. Loan interest for undergraduate students is fixed at 4.45 percent for the 2017-2018 school year, the interest rate for the loan is determined by Congress each year. This interest is paid by the federal government ("subsidized") while the student is enrolled on at least a half-time basis.

  Other Loan Programs

  The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program is a Federal Loan program designed to meet educational costs for anyone without regard to "need." Interest on the loan for undergraduates is fixed at 4.45% for the 2017-2018 school year and is not paid by the federal government while students are enrolled. Students can pay interest while enrolled or defer interest payment until regular repayment begins six months after the student graduates (or ceases being enrolled on at least a half-time basis).

  The Federal Direct PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) Program allows parents of dependent, undergraduate students to borrow up to the cost of attendance minus other financial aid to pay educational expenses. Loan approval is subject to credit approval. Interest on the Federal Direct PLUS loan is fixed at 7.00 percent for the 2017-2018 school year, and repayment generally begins within 60 days of the last disbursement of the loan. There is no grace period or interest subsidy on this loan.

  Many banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and other commercial lending institutions have special loan programs for students or parents of students attending college. The 91福利社 processes private loans through ELM Select. ELM Select provides students and parents an easy way to search for private loans from many lenders and programs.

  Refunds to Financial Aid Programs

  Students who withdraw within 60 percent of the beginning of the term or reduce their class load may have their financial aid reduced. Refer to the refund policy cited in the Tuition Refund Policy section of this Catalog. The return of funds to financial aid programs is based upon federally-mandated formulae. Return of funds to financial aid programs are allocated in this order:

  • 2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans
  • 3. Federal Carl Perkins Loans
  • 4. Federal PLUS loans
  • 5. Federal Pell Grant

  • 7. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
  • 8. Other federal Title IV assistance
  • 9. Other federal, state, private, or institutional financial aid programs
  • 10. A refund to a student is determined by the formula

  This allocation order is mandated by the Federal Government and would change if the present priorities are changed.

  Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Eligibility

  Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is a term used to describe a student’s successful completion of course work toward a degree or certificate. SAP is required to receive all federal and state financial aid.

  Federal regulations require the Financial Aid Office to apply reasonable standards for measuring whether a student is making progress toward a degree. This is to ensure that students receiving funds are successfully progressing through their program of study. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you could lose your eligibility for financial aid.

  Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards

  Student academic progress is measured at the end of each semester against the following qualitative and quantitative standards: cumulative grade point average (GPA), completion rate (pace), maximum time frame and meeting the academic standards
