About Financial Aid

At North Greenville University, student aid is generally awarded based on financial needs. Defined, financial need is the difference between the student’s cost of education (tuition, fees, room-board, and books) and the amount the student and family are expected to contribute toward meeting those costs. To determine eligibility for financial aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required.

Certificate programs are less than 24 credit hours and, therefore, are not eligible for financial aid.

Financial Aid Policy

Students who wish to withdraw from a class/classes at the graduate school must contact their Academic Advisor to request a withdrawal form. The withdrawal does not become official until the completed, and signed form is returned. Access to classes is given to students one week before starting each term for students to assess the workload required for their courses. All requests to drop must be completed before the start of the term, and no charges are assessed. Upon withdrawal, refunds are issued based on the following scale: during week 1 is 75%; during week 2 is 50%, and after week 2, there is no refund.

If the student has obtained a student loan and requests a withdrawal before the 49% point of the term, the student loan will be pro-rated, initializing a return of funds to the Student Loan Corporation. In this case, the student may owe money to North Greenville University, as the student is responsible for the full tuition amount. If the student has received a refund from the school for additional funds in their loan, the amount owed to the school may be greater than the tuition for the class.
