Federal Aid

The federal government provides grants, loans, and work-study funds for students that meet certain eligibility requirements. Use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to estimate your eligibility for loans, grants, and work-study.

Federal Loans

A loan is money you borrow and must pay back with interest. Eligibility for federal loans requires that you submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year of college (CIU School Code: 003429), are enrolled at least half-time, are degree seeking and take courses required for your degree. If you apply for financial aid, you will be offered federal loans as part of your financial aid offer.

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan>>

  • Based on a student’s financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
  • 学生须负责在所有期间支付直接无补贴贷款的利息.
  • 贷款在完成学业后提供六个月的“宽限期”，然后才开始还款.

Grad PLUS Loans>>

  • The U.S. 教育部为注册至少一半时间的学生提供直接PLUS贷款. Interest accrues during all periods. Additional application required. Credit check required.
  • 您可以收到的最高PLUS贷款金额是出勤费减去收到的任何其他经济援助.
Federal Work Study

Military Scholarship

CIU offers active duty service members, 退伍军人及其符合条件的配偶以学费折扣的形式享受教育福利. For more detailed information, please check out the Military page.

Veterans Administration (VA) Benefits

If you plan to use a VA benefit, 或者如果你是一个计划将他们的福利转移给你的服务人员的家属, begin exploring your benefit options on our Veterans Benefits web page.

福利资格问题基本上是退伍军人管理局的责任. 有关资格，福利金额和资格月数的问题可直接向 VA website or by calling 1-888-442-4551.

Private Loans

私人学生贷款是另一种贷款选择，你借的钱必须带着利息偿还. 虽然CIU不推荐、推广或认可一个贷款机构高于另一个，但我们确实提供了一个 comparison tool from Credible showing a variety of lenders to review and compare.

The listings shown on Credible are not preferred lender lists, nor do they represent every lender that provides private educational loans. CIU will certify private education loan requests for any lender you choose, regardless if they appear on Credible or not.

The lender you choose will provide you with current interest rates, processing fees, and co-signer requirements. The lender, based on the student and cosigner’s credit worthiness, determines interest rates for loans.

Application Process

CIU的大多数奖学金都会根据你的入学申请和资格自动颁发. However, for certain scholarships like the Fulltime Ministry Scholarship, additional documentation may be required.

  • Submit Your Admission Application: Apply to your chosen graduate or online program at CIU
  • Complete Scholarship Requirements: For program-specific scholarships, you may need to provide additional information or meet specific criteria
  • Receive Your Award Notification: 奖学金预估是在申请提交后和接受之前提供的. 官方经济援助包在学生被录取并注册课程后颁发

Financial Aid Proration Guide>>

A Financial Aid Proration Guide 是一个资源，概述了当学生的入学状况发生变化时，经济援助是如何调整的. 本指南帮助学生了解，如果他们注册的学分少于全日制学分，他们的经济援助计划可能会被重新计算, withdraw from classes, or change their program status.

For example, if a student reduces their credit load, the amount of financial aid they are eligible to receive may be prorated, meaning it will be adjusted based on their new enrollment level. 该指南详细说明了不同类型的CIU奖学金是如何分配的, 并提供了清晰的解释，以帮助学生预测和计划他们的经济援助计划的任何变化.

本页列出的所有奖学金和助学金适用于2024-25学年进入澳门新葡京网站的学生. CIU保留更改或更改任何奖学金要求、截止日期或奖励金额的权利.
