Financial Aid

J-Term 2010

All currently enrolled students who may need to secure financial aid for J-Term 2010 are strongly encouraged to first contact the Financial Aid Office at 716.673.3253 to set up an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor. 

J-Term Financial Aid Application Procedures

All J-Term 2010 financial aid applicants must complete the 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Students must also complete the J-Term Financial Aid Application and return it to the Financial Aid Office for processing. As a result of J-Term enrollment being capped at 4 credit hours, J-Term financial aid applicants are eligible to apply only for a portion of their Federal Pell or TEACH Grant, or a non-Federal Alternative Loan that will allow for less than half-time enrollment. Interested borrowers should check with their lender  regarding minimum enrollment criteria.
