First things first, fill out the FAFSA
- Fill out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student 援助). Your FAFSA application is where all financial aid begins. The earlier you fill out your FAFSA the better. You’ll need to update your FAFSA each year.
- With your FAFSA, we can help you look for grants — money awards that you don’t have to repay! Except for the TEACH Grant, all grants are awarded to undergraduate students only. The most common grant awarded to 买球推荐软件app排名 students is the Federal Pell Grant, a need-based grant awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or a professional degree. Below is a list of federal and state grants you may qualify for, click to explore your options.

Will you be playing a sport at Avila?
运动 Scholarships: For students who plan to p艺术icipate in athletics, your 买球推荐软件app排名 award is done differently. All prospective athletes must file the FAFSA and work individually with the coach to determine the total award. The award determined by your coach combines your academic and your athletic award in one scholarship. We know you are both a student and an athlete and want to award you as one! 访问 阿维拉田径 了解更多.
The value of an academic merit scholarship is determined at the time of a student’s admission to the University.
买球推荐软件app排名 financial aid awards become official when a student has been admitted, 完成了 FAFSA, received a comprehensive financial aid award letter, and returned a signed copy of that letter to the Office of Financial 援助. All Avila financial aid is renewable as long as a student is enrolled full-time, meets renewal criteria, and/or continues to demonstrate financial need. All scholarships and grants are based on available funding.
外面的奖学金s
Outside scholarships include funding from sources outside 买球推荐软件app排名, the State of Missouri, or the federal government. Awards from companies, 基金会, civic and religious organizations, and employer tuition benefits are common examples of 外面的奖学金. Outside scholarships can affect a student’s aid eligibility, so they must be reported to the 财政援助办事处. Outside scholarships help meet a student’s college costs, so we must consider these awards when determining eligibility for other aid programs. If we have to adjust other sources of aid — which may be required under state and federal regulations — we always reduce need-based loans or 勤工助学 before reducing any gift aid, like need-based scholarships or grants.
Where to 邮件 外面的奖学金
If you have received a scholarship from an outside donor, please use the following address:
买球推荐软件app排名
业务办公室/外面的奖学金
世界路11901号. Kansas City, MO 64145
Please request that outside scholarship checks be made payable to 买球推荐软件app排名
Be sure to give your donor your student identification number and ask them to include it with your award. It’s helpful if the donor includes a letter explaining the award terms when they send the award check to the campus.
避免诈骗
Every year students and their families lose money to scam 艺术ists posing as true scholarship funding 年龄ncies. To avoid being defrauded, be cautious about suspicious offers.
It might be a scam if:
- You have to spend money to get money. Legitimate providers don’t charge application fees, “救赎”的费用, or up-front taxes; nor do they ask students to make investments.
- 他们想要一个 bank account or credit card information. Trustworthy donors won’t ask for a credit card number to “hold” your award.
- 这是保证. No one can guarantee that you’ll receive a scholarship, and any promise of a money-back guarantee is a red flag.
- You can’t find the information anywhere else. Scholarship 年龄ncies don’t keep information secret; they want to award scholarships. If a service promises to provide funds no one else knows about, be suspicious.
- You win a contest you don’t remember entering. If you receive a mess年龄 saying you’ve been selected for an award or you’re a finalist in a competition you’ve never heard of, 这可能是个骗局.
- It sounds too good to be true. 相信你的直觉. If you’re suspicious about an offer, you probably have a good reason.
Will you need a Student Loan?
While there are a lot of scholarships, many students will need to take out a student loan from either the Federal government (Federal Direct Loans) or from private sources such as a bank or financial institution. Before you take out a loan, make sure you understand who is making the loan and the terms and conditions of the loan, as loans must be repaid.
