Student Eligibility
To receive any kind of Federal Financial Aid, a student must -
- Be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program
- Complete the application process through the Office of Financial Aid
- Not be in default on any Title IV loan or owe a refund on any Title IV aid
- Be a citizen or eligible non-citizen*
A student convicted of the possession or sale of illegal drugs may have eligibility suspended if the offense occurred while the student was receiving federal student aid (grants, loans or work-study). Complete the Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet for the drug conviction question on the FAFSA to determine if your conviction affects your eligibility for aid. As an alternative to waiting until the end of the period of federal student aid ineligibility, you can complete an acceptable drug rehabilitation program to regain eligibility for federal student aid. For additional assistance, please call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID. If you cannot access a toll-free number, call FSAIC at 319-337-5665. TTY users (for the hearing impaired) can call 1-800-730-8913.
* Generally you are an eligible noncitizen if you are:
- A U.S. permanent resident with
a Permanent Resident Card (I551);
- A conditional permanent resident (I-551C); or
- The holder of an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the
Department of Homeland Security showing
any of the following designations:
“Refugee,” “Asylum Granted,” “Parolee”
(I-94 confirms paroled for a minimum )
