Endicott’s Financial Assistance Programs

^ TOP

Endicott College will make every effort to insure that a quality education is available to all qualified students, regardless of income level. Financial Aid officers are available to help students and their families on an individual basis with all Financial Aid and financial planning issues.

Financial assistance is available for eligible students through both Endicott and federal and state programs. These programs allow students to use gift and self-help funds to pay for their education. Approximately 85% of Endicott’s students receive some form of financial aid.

To qualify for financial aid, a student must be a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen, be enrolled in an approved program, and be in good academic standing. Most of the aid programs require that a student demonstrate financial need. The family contribution is determined by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial need is defined as the difference between the cost of education and the amount the student’s family can be expected to contribute.

Every applicant’s financial situation is evaluated carefully so that each financial aid award will accommodate a student’s particular needs. All students must reapply for financial aid each year and must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.

Federal Financial Aid Programs

^ TOP

Federal Pell Grants

Non-repayable funds made available to students through the federal government. The individual awards for the 2003-2004 academic year range from $400-$4,050, depending upon the student’s financial need. These funds are used as the foundation of a student’s financial aid package and all applicants for aid at Endicott must apply for a Pell Grant.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)

These grants are also based upon financial need and are awarded by the Endicott College Financial Aid Office. Priority is given to Pell Grant recipients.

Federal Work-Study Program

Provides eligible students with the opportunity for employment. A student applies for positions offered both on and off campus. The amount of a Work-Study award is determined by the Endicott College Financial Aid Office and does not appear as a credit on a student’s bill. Placement is not guaranteed.

Federal Perkins Loans

Long-term, low interest (5%) federal loans awarded and administered by Endicott. The average award for the 2003-2004 academic year will be $1,000. This loan must be repaid, but there are no interest or principal repayments on a Federal Perkins Loan for borrowers until nine months after a borrower ceases to be at least a half-time student. Upon taking this loan, a student is advised of his or her rights and responsibilities regarding payment.

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan

Provides federally insured funds of as much as $2,625 annually for the first year, up to $3,500 for second-year students, and up to $5,500 for third- and fourth-year students. These loans are based upon financial need and are borrowed through the student’s local bank. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable with a cap at 8.25%. Repayment begins six months after a borrower ceases to be at least a half-time student.

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

A loan program with terms and conditions very similar to Federal Stafford Loan is available to students regardless of need. Under this program, interest is the responsibility of the student while in attendance and for deferral periods.

Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS Loans)

Loan funds are available to credit-worthy parents of dependent students. This program is sponsored by the federal government and administered by local banks. These loans are not based upon financial need and parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus financial aid annually for each dependent student enrolled in an undergraduate school. The interest rate is variable and repayment for PLUS loans generally begins sixty days after disbursement of the loan.

Other Sources of Aid

^ TOP

State Financial Aid Programs

A state scholarship or grant is available from a number of state programs. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont awarded funds that were used at Endicott. Eligible Massachusetts residents received grants of up to $2,300 for their educational expenses.

Private Loan Programs

Endicott College participates in the Family Education Loan Program (MEFA), Signature Loan, Citi Assist Loan, Key Bank Loan, and the TERI Loan Programs. The Financial Aid Office assists parents in applying for these private loans.

Endicott No-Interest Loan

Endicott College offers a no-interest loan program to a limited number of students who may not qualify for other need-based grant programs. Repayment begins six months following completion of the student’s studies at Endicott.

Payment Plans

Endicott College participates in an interest-free tuition payment plan to help make payment for college more convenient. Academic Management Services offers an opportunity to make interest-free monthly tuition payments to pay all or a portion of your education expense balance. There is no credit review and only a small application fee to enroll. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for additional information.

ROTC

Information regarding ROTC scholarships is available online at www.endicott.edu on the Financial Aid page. Applicants compete for four-year, three-year, or two-year scholarships (up to $17,000 per year). Many ROTC scholarship grants include books and fees, as well as a monthly stipend. For additional information contact 978-232-2264.

Over and above ROTC’s contribution of a possible $17,000, Endicott makes a commitment to assist participants with additional funding not to exceed the direct cost of attendance. Endicott’s potential contribution, therefore, could include 1) $5,000 awarded to ROTC participants receiving scholarships, and 2) up to an additional $6,000 for students enrolled in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences.
