Financial Aid

大学可能很贵. The Financial Aid Office at Salem State is here to help. Our primary goal is to help students achieve their educational potential by assisting them with navigating the financial aid process and affording the cost of their education. We do this by awarding federal, state, and institutional aid, including grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans.

什么是经济援助?

Financial aid is money from federal and state governments that helps pay for a student's educational expenses. Awards might be based on grades, financial needs, talents, or circumstances. They can come from several sources, including federal and state governments and institutional aid.

Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Salem State offers a combination of need-based (aid that solely takes into account a student's and their family's ability to pay for college) and merit-based (aid based on a student's achievements and academic performance, typically in the form of a scholarship that does not need to be repaid) aid.

援助类型包括 grants, scholarships, 州学费减免计划, work-study, and loans. Aid is divided into two categories: gift aid and self-help aid.

• Gift aid can be need-based or merit-based aid given to a student without the obligation of repayment; most grants, scholarships, and tuition waivers 属于这一类.
• 自助援助要么是 work-study award that must be earned through a job on campus or a loan 那是必须偿还的.
