Bolivar Technical College students may apply for scholarships, grants, or loans to assist them with school expenses. Scholarships and grants are sums of money given to an eligible student to be applied toward the student's educational costs. Students do not repay scholarships or grants but must meet specific requirements to receive them. Various loans are also available to assist students with educational costs. These loans must be repaid according to specific terms.

Bolivar Technical College's administrative office staff will provide information and various forms needed to determine financial aid eligibility. Financial aid forms must be accurate and complete. Students applying for financial aid, financial assistance or scholarships must verify program eligibility. Once status of eligibility is established, an award letter will be sent to the student.

Though applicants are encouraged to seek financial aid, students should not rely solely on these monies to support themselves throughout the academic year. Students receiving any form of financial aid are required to meet standards for satisfactory academic progress and attendance. Proof of such progress on a quarterly basis is verified prior to any disbursements of financial aid. Failure to meet satisfactory academic progress or satisfactory attendance requirements may result in the termination or reduction of financial aid. Though Bolivar Technical College's financial aid officer is responsible for accurate distribution, explanation, documentation with validation of federal financial aid requirements, it is the student's responsibility to comply with all requests in a timely fashion if the student wishes to continue receiving benefits.

Student Loan Programs

Federal aid grants are awarded on a fiscal year basis beginning July 1 and ending June 30, so some applicants may need to complete the application process twice during an academic or calendar year.

When completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line (www.fasfa.ed.gov), TCTI's school code is: 035793. Once eligibility is determined, an electronic report will be sent or mailed to both the student and financial aid director.

PELL Grant

Pell Grant awards need not be repaid.

Federal Plus Loans

Federal Plus Loans are available to assist qualified parents to borrow in order to pay the education expenses of a dependent student. Plus Loans are limited to the difference between the student's total cost of education and other financial aid the student may receive.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

FSEOG funds are awards are based on the availability of funds and the student's level of need. There is no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive an FSEOG.

Federal Work Study Program

The Federal Work Study Program provides jobs for eligible students who must earn funds to pay a portion of their educational expenses. Students must be enrolled for at least half time to qualify. The number of hours a student may work is based on the financial need demonstrated by the student, the number of hours it is possible for the student to work, and the availability of FWS funds at the institution.

Scholarships

Bolivar Technical College awards private scholarships on a year-round basis. To apply for a scholarship, the student must request and submit a scholarship application. Local business and individual donors provide the funds for these scholarships.

Scholarships are available only when a student is initially accepted. After the scholarship application is submitted to the admissions representative for review of its completeness, it is forwarded to the scholarship committee. To be considered, a student must demonstrate a financial need. The amount of monies awarded will vary according to the scholarship funds available. An award letter will be mailed directly to the student notifying him/her of scholarship award.

Scholarship monies will be applied to the student's account for tuition, books, and/or supplies. All scholarships will be applied at the end of the student's program. If a student who receives a scholarship drops from the program of enrollment and/or is terminated from the program, he/she forfeits the scholarship. Any scholarship monies granted will be rescinded and cannot be used to pay any tuition/fees owed.
