Grants: Gift Aid That Doesn't Need Repaying

Grants are a valuable form of financial aid because they don’t need to be repaid. They are typically awarded based on financial need and can significantly reduce the overall cost of education. UEI students may be eligible for a variety of federal and state financial aid programs.

Scholarships: Rewarding Academic Excellence and More

Scholarships are another form of gift aid that doesn’t need to be repaid. They are often awarded based on academic merit, talent, or specific criteria set by the scholarship provider. Our faculty also ensures students are aware of scholarship opportunities available through UEI and outside organizations.

Student Loans: Borrowing for the Future

Student loans provide extra financial support but must be repaid with interest. Understanding the different types of student loans and their terms is essential for responsible borrowing.

Subsidized Loans: Available to students with financial need. The government pays the interest on these loans while the student is in school and during deferment periods.
Unsubsidized Loans: Available to all students, regardless of financial need. Interest accrues on these loans from the time they are disbursed.
Federal PLUS Loans: Designed for parents of undergraduate students. These loans can help cover the gap between other financial aid and the cost of attendance.

You have options with federal loan repayment plans to make the process less daunting, and you can change your repayment plan at any time! If you need help or have more questions, your loan servicer will be your go-to person to make sure you’re pursuing the right path for your success.

Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program: Earning While Learning

The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program allows eligible students to work part-time on campus while attending school. Earnings from work-study can help cover tuition, fees, and other school-related costs.

The FAFSA: Your Gateway to Federal Aid

To access federal financial aid, including grants, loans, and work-study, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Eligibility is determined through a formula filled in with the information you provide in your FAFSA. Department of Education. By completing your FAFSA accurately and on time, your financial aid advisor will use the information to determine how much student aid you are eligible to receive. Once you’re ready, it’s a simple process to apply for aid.

Dependent vs. Independent Student Status

As you work through the FAFSA, you may find yourself wondering if you are considered an independent or dependent student. The biggest difference between the two is whether you will need to provide your parent’s information on the application. Look at the questions below.

State-Specific Grants: The Cal Grant Program
