The Financial Aid Office at UTTC maintains a program of financial aid and scholarship information to assist students in meeting the cost of their education. To determine eligibility for all financial aid programs and scholarships available at UTTC, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA may be returned to the UTTC Financial Aid Office for electronic transfer, or the student may mail the application to the central processor; however, the latter may delay notification of eligibility. Potential applicants are encouraged to apply early in order to meet funding deadlines. Information and assistance regarding student financial aid is available from the Financial Aid Office.

TITLE IV PROGRAMS

PELL GRANT: This is a grant that the student does not have to repay under most circumstances. PELL grants are awarded to help qualified students pay for their educational cost. It is designed to be the foundation upon which other federal and non-federal assistance programs supplement.

OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG): This is a campus-based program that may be awarded to students who are PELL certified, dependent on student's financial need and the availability of funds.

FEDERAL COLLEGE WORK STUDY (FCWS): This is also a campus-based program that provides eligible students with jobs to help pay for their educational cost. These jobs, normally on campus, are available to qualified students applying at the Financial Aid Office.

Other Federal And Non-federal Financial Aassistance Programs:

• STATE STUDENT INCENTIVE GRANT (SSIG)
• VETERANS ADMINISTRATIVE BENEFITS (VA)
• WORK FORCE INVESTMENT ACT (WIA)
• AMERICAN INDIAN COLLEGE FUND (AICF)
• NORTH DAKOTA INDIAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
• VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION
• INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE

It has been the policy of UTTC to refrain from participating in federal or private student loan programs. Financial aid is available to most students based on their complete student file (Admissions/Registrar and Financial Aid Office), financial need, and availability of funds.
Application

The following forms and documents are required from all students who apply for financial aid at UTTC:

Even if you think you are not eligible for federal financial aid, please complete the FAFSA.
