than a temporary purpose with the intention of becoming a permanent
resident. You may be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
Eligible non-citizens will be required
to provide proof of permanent residency for federal aid. (Alien
Registration Cards I-94, I-155, I-688 or U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization letter granting asylum, etc.). International/Foreign
Students (I-20 Visa holders) are not eligible for financial aid. For
further information regarding other eligible immigration status,

Service registration must be confirmed by the Selective Service
agency, or you will be required to present a letter from Selective
Service indicating that you have registered with the Selective Service
System, or that you are not required to register.
You must provide proof of a valid
social security number if requested.
Your financial aid eligibility may be
suspended for a conviction of
violating federal or state drug possession or sale laws
while you were receiving federal student aid.
These are
the general eligibility requirements. Depending on the financial aid
program or your unique circumstances, you may have other eligibility
requirements that must be met before receiving financial aid. |
