Students receiving financial aid from the College will have their refund redeposited into the financial aid account. First time enrollees receiving Title IV aid will have refunds released based on federal guidelines.

Refunds on tuition, fees, and room will be made as follows:

During the fifth and sixth weeks 50%

If a student withdraws in keeping with the regulations of the College, as set forth in this Catalog, refunds on board will begin the Saturday following the date the Business Office is notified of withdrawal.

Financial Aid

Grants, loans, part-time employment and scholarships are available for eligible students at Concord. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 to assure consideration for available funds since the earlier applications are packaged first. April 15 is the deadline for priority consideration of campus-based aid; however, applications processed after April 15 will be considered based on the availability of funds. Awards are normally based on full-time enrollment. However, some programs are available for part-time enrollment. The major portion of financial aid is awarded to students who have a demonstrated financial need based on the results of the FAFSA.

Financial aid is normally awarded to students for the regular academic year of two semesters. Renewal of Federal and State aid is contingent upon reapplying each year, having a demonstrated financial need, and maintaining satisfactory academic progress toward a degree objective.

Many communities and local organizations offer scholarships to deserving high school graduates. These possibilities should be explored with your high school principal or guidance counselor.

Institutional scholarships available through Concord College are competitive. Applicants for scholarships must complete a separate scholarship application form which includes recommendations by appropriate College or secondary school officials. These forms are available from the Office of Admissions or the Financial Aid Office.

General Financial Aid Information

Students who receive financial aid at Concord College must use this money solely for educational expenses related to attendance at Concord. Any student who receives financial aid from sources in addition to programs offered by Concord must report this income to the Financial Aid Office. Additional aid may reduce or cancel the student’s award.

Federal student aid programs, amounts, and policies are subject to change based on Federal legislative action. Questions concerning financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.

Grants

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted for consideration of any of the following programs. Application forms may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office or high school guidance counselor. Appli-cants will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the Central Processing Center.

Federal Pell Grant/Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

West Virginia Higher Education Grant

(a) Residents of West Virginia with academic potential and financial need are considered provided the FAFSA is received by the processor by March 1.

(b) Selection is made by the West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program in Charleston.

State Grants (other than West Virginia)

Check with your home state grant office, if one exists, to determine if state residents attending out-of-state schools are eligible for grants. If so, process the paperwork for Concord, and we will disburse your state grant.

Loans

The Federal Perkins Loan

An applicant may borrow a maximum of $9,000 as an undergraduate student, not to exceed $4,500 in the first two years of school (based upon availability of funds). The first repayment is due nine months after graduation or separation from college. The Loan has a five percent interest rate which begins to accrue the tenth month after graduation or separation from college. There are provisions for the repayment of this loan to be partially or wholly canceled for certain areas of teaching, military service, volunteer service, NOAA, and certain disabilities. In addition, deferment options exist. Check with the Perkins Loan Office prior to leaving school about these options.

Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized and Unsubsidized)

(a) Applications may be obtained from a bank or from the Financial Aid Office.

(b) The student completes the Student Portion of the application form and submits it to the Financial Aid Office for completion of the College’s portion. The financial aid officer will submit the application to the student’s bank or state lending agency. An undergraduate student may borrow $2,625 at the freshman level, $3,500 at the sophomore level, and $5,500 at the junior and senior level, with an aggregate loan limit of $23,000. The interest will be subsidized by the Federal government and will not begin to accrue until the seventh month after graduation or separation from college. The interest is an annual variable based on 91-Day T-Bill + 2.3%, for loans with the first disbursement made to new borrowers. Currently there is an interest cap of 8.25%.

Interest Rate: Annual Variable Rate based on 91-day T-Bill + 2.3%, capped at 8.25%.

Origination Fee, 2%. Guarantee fee, up to 1%.

Federal Parents Loan for Undergraduate Dependent Students (FPLUS)

(b) The parent completes the parent portion of the application form, the student completes the student portion, and submits it to the Financial Aid Office for completion of the College’s portion. Parents may borrow an annual amount equal to cost of attendance minus other aid. Interest rate is an annual variable based on 52-week T-Bill + 3.10%, capped at 9% or 10% depending upon when the loan was made. Parents who have no adverse credit history are eligible for FPLUS loans.

Institutional Loans

Concord College has very limited institutional loans that may be used as restricted sources of funds.

Federal Work-Study Program

Students in the Federal Work-Study Program secure jobs in various offices on campus, as well as other agencies. The work hours for this program will be adjusted to the student’s schedule, but may not exceed 20 hours per week. Paychecks are issued monthly. The rate of pay is the federal minimum wage.

State Student Assistant Program

This is a State-funded work program and students may be hired by various departments. Financial need is not a prerequisite.

You will be notified in writing and furnished with a copy of this policy if you are not making satisfactory academic progress prior to the next enrollment period for which you would normally be eligible for financial aid.

Students who withdraw within the College’s and Federal Government’s prescribed refund periods may be responsible for repayment of a portion of aid received. (Refer to the refund policy.)

If you withdraw during the semester without having earned credit, you will be considered to have made unsatisfactory progress, unless you present acceptable reasons for withdrawal. (This is providing you were making satisfactory progress at the time of withdrawal or during the previous enrollment period.)

Data to implement this policy will come from the Registrar’s Office. Withdrawals and incompletes will be counted in the determination of GPA and hours attempted in accordance with the policies of the Registrar’s Office. Federal, state and some institutional financial aid administered by this office may be affected.

If you are denied aid for failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress, you may not receive further payments until you attain satisfactory academic progress. To do this, you must attain the cumulative GPA and earn the hours required as previously stated.

Probation.

If you are not making satisfactory progress as defined above, you will be placed on probation from financial aid. If it is your first unsatisfactory semester, you will be awarded financial aid during the next probationary semester. If it is your second semester, you will be placed on financial aid suspension, and you will not be awarded aid during the next semester. During your third semester of unsatisfactory progress you will be placed on financial aid ineligible status, and you will lose all eligibility for future financial aid.

The Financial Aid Office can only ensure that Federal Pell Grants and Federal Stafford Loans will be reinstated after the probationary period, if you are eligible. Campus based aid (FSEOG, FWS, and Federal Perkins Loans) will be reinstated only if funds are still available.

You may appeal financial aid suspension and/or ineligibility by submitting in writing to the Director of Financial Aid the basis for your appeal, stating the reasons for not making satisfactory academic progress. In addition, request from the Registrar’s Office a copy of your academic transcript. It will be sent directly to the Financial Aid Office
