St. Joseph School of Nursing Practical Nursing Program participates in federal funding programs such as the Pell Grant, Federal subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans, and the Parent Plus loan, to help students cover the cost of their education. Eligibility for any of the aid programs below is determined when the student completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (see How Do I apply for aid?) and the expected family contribution (EFC) is determined. The Federal Pell Grant: This type of aid is based on need and available to undergraduate students, who don’t have a bachelor’s degree. It does not need to be repaid. The maximum eligibility amount changes from year to year. Federal Subsidized Stafford loan: This is a government subsidized low interest loan. The government pays the interest portion to a lender (bank or any other lending institution) while the student is enrolled at least halftime. Eligibility amounts are based on the number of clock hours a student is enrolled; not to exceed the applicable annual loan limits. Repayment begins usually six months after the student graduates or ceases to be enrolled at least half time. Federal Unsubsidized loan: Under this loan program the student is responsible for paying the interest portion to the lender. Dependent students may be eligible only after their eligibility for a parent plus loan has been determined. Annual loan limits apply based on the number of clock hours a student enrolls for in the first academic year. A proration calculation is usually applicable when determining loan eligibility for the final clock hours of enrollment in the program. The Federal Plus loan: This loan program allows parents to borrow money on behalf of the student up to the cost of education less any other financial aid. The interest rate is variable and the lender based on credit history determines eligibility. Repayment begins 45 days after the first disbursement of the loan.
