When you first start considering college, your first question will most likely be how you will be able to pay for it. This is a natural concern, but there is no need to be anxious about your financial concerns. Tricoci has many tools that you can use to make your education more affordable.

Financial Aid Resources

Financial aid comes in many different forms; you may want to apply for one or more of these financial aid options during your time at Tricoci University.

• Federal Grants

Federal grants are federal funds that you do not have to pay back. The most well-known federal grant is the Pell Grant, which can be awarded to undergraduate students without a bachelor’s or professional degree.

• Federal Loans

Federal loans, unlike federal grants, are federal funds that you do have to pay back. The benefit of federal loans over private loans is that you will often be able to get a much lower percentage rate on the interest you have to pay back.

• Monthly Payments

If you do not qualify for federal grants or loans or you are simply looking for other options, Tricoci University offers the option to pay for your college education in monthly installments. This way, you can pay off your tuition interest-free.

• VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA) Education Benefits

Scholarship Resources

Another option our students can utilize is scholarships. These scholarship options could be the perfect opportunity to maximize affordability.

• Scholarships to Pay Academic Costs

The most common scholarship available is a type of scholarship that can only go toward your academic costs. These can still be immensely helpful for people struggling with affordability. However, it is important to note that you can usually only use de money to cover your tuition costs.

• Scholarships to Pay Living Costs

Less common, but still available, are scholarships you can use to cover your living costs in addition to tuition. If you do not think you will have time and energy to work while you go to school, these scholarships can be a lifesaver and allow you to live on your own through college.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students have many questions about financial aid. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions at Tricoci University.

You may need to go through different processes depending on the type of financial aid you are applying for. For applying for federal aid this includes filling out a FAFSA form, which may require personal and financial information.

• What Is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It is what you will fill out if you’re looking to get financial aid for school from the government. This financial aid is means-tested, so you’ll get a different amount depending on your financial situation.

• Will Bad Credit Block Me From Obtaining Financial Aid?

Federal financial aid does not work like applying for a loan. The government will not check your credit to see whether you are eligible for financial aid. Instead, the government assesses your financial need to see how much financial aid it can offer.

• Do I Need to Provide Information From My Parents for Financial Aid?

This depends on a variety of factors, including your age, your marital status, and if your parents provide financial support. Talk to an expert if you are not receiving aid from your parents, but you think their income may disqualify you.
