奖助金

助学金是由联邦政府、州政府和你的大学提供的基于需求的奖励. Unlike loans, grants do not have to be paid back. Eligibility for grants are determined by information reported on the FAFSA http://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa 或TASFA http://www.highered.texas.gov/our-work/empowering-our-students/tasfa/. Such need-based awards are automatically 授予 to you if eligibility requirements are met, so no additional application is required. To receive need-based grants, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), be pursuing their first undergraduate degree and be enrolled full-time*.

*Students receiving the Federal Pell Grant or the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant and are enrolled less than full-time may be entitled to receive a portion of their Pell Grant or IASG based on the guidelines set by the Department of Education.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG): The SEOG grant is a need-based grant from the 联邦 government that assists students with the most 财务需要 and are pursuing their first undergraduate degree pay for college. Funds for this grant are limited, so the sooner a student files a FAFSA the higher their chances are to receive this grant. Per 联邦 regulation institutions must fund 25% of the SEOG grant program, so HSU offers students who are eligible for SEOG an institutional grant.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • 提交FAFSA

  • Title IV full-time enrollment required

联邦佩尔助学金: The Pell Grant is a need-based grant from the 联邦 government that assists students who display exceptional 财务需要 and are pursuing their first undergraduate degree pay for their education. Students will be considered for the Federal Pell Grant by filing a FAFSA. 如果你符合条件, you will receive the full amount you qualify for based on your enrollment status and your expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by the FAFSA. Pell eligible students taking summer courses may be entitled to receive Pell funds during the summer term depending on the number of hours they are enrolled and calculated EFC.

Eligibility requirements:

  • 提交FAFSA
  • Have exceptional 财务需要
  • Have a qualifying expected family contribution (EFC) as calculated by the FAFSA

*Lifetime eligibility for Pell grant funds is limited to six years, the equivalent to 12 full time semesters. Since the amount of a scheduled Pell Grant award, you can receive each award year is equal to 100%, the six-year equivalent is 600%. Students can use up to 150% of their Pell grant each year if they are enrolled in summer, 秋天, 还有春季课程. The Department of Education keeps track of your Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) by adding together the percentages of your Federal Pell Grant scheduled awards that you received for each award year. 一旦你的总数达到600%,你就达到了联邦佩尔助学金的资格限制和遗嘱 no longer be eligible to receive Pell grant funds. Students can view their Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) by logging into “我的帮助用你的 联邦学生援助身份证.

*Initial financial aid packages for students are based on the previous year’s Federal Pell chart. Pell grant amounts and other need-based awards could be adjusted to correctly correspond to the Federal Pell chart for the current academic year once it is released by the Federal government.

Year-round Pell Grant Eligibility: Students enrolled in summer courses will receive a portion of their Federal Pell Grant during the summer term depending on the number of hours they are enrolled in and calculated EFC. If a student has not used 100% of their scheduled award, in the summer and 秋天, then they can utilize the remainder in the spring being enrolled less-than half-time.

在奖励年度,符合佩尔资格的学生有权获得最高150%的计划奖励. 然而, if a student receives Pell in the summer and 秋天 terms, 那么他们必须在春季至少注册一半的时间,才能在春季学期获得额外的佩尔助学金.

Pell Recalculation Date: HSU sets Pell Recalculation Dates for the Summer, Fall, and Spring terms. Pell重新计算日期(PRD)通常发生在该学期添加/注册课程的最后日期之后的第二天. In summer, PRD takes place after the last date to add/register for Summer 2 courses. If HSU participates in Acadeum courses during the term, then PRD will be the day after the last Acadeum class begins. On PRD Day, a student’s Pell is recalculated based on their enrollment status. If a student’s enrollment status changes within the term, 他们的佩尔助学金将被重新计算,以反映他们开始上课的正确时间. If a student has begun attendance in all their classes, then Pell will not be recalculated.

2023-2024 PRD Dates: Summer – August 7, 2023, Fall- November 11, 2023, & 春季——2024年4月3日
