Additionally, each aid program has its own eligibility requirements, such as financial need or state of residency.
Students should be aware that items appearing on their OneStart, Self-Service “To Do List” (e.g., SAP, verification, citizenship verification, etc.) can prevent them from receiving financial aid. If a student has any questions about what they must do in order to complete the items of their “ To Do List,” they should contact our office.
