Student Eligibility
Students must meet a number of eligibility criteria to demonstrate the right to public funding of their higher education. Some of these conditions of eligibility are confirmed through the application process by data base matches between the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies; other criteria must be documented and monitored by the school.
