Financial Aid Eligibility
What is my aid eligibility if I am in a preparatory program or am taking prerequisites to get into a Master’s program?
Students can be funded with Federal financial aid for twelve consecutive months if the student is in a prerequisite program with at least 6 credits/semester. Aid eligibility consists of Stafford loans, so long as the student has remaining undergraduate aggregate eligibility. This needs to be verified by printing and checking their NSLDS record. All students are considered fifth year students for Stafford loan limit eligibility ($5500/year in subsidized and $7000/year in unsubsidized funds) since they already have Bachelor’s degree.
Qualifying preparatory programs at La Salle are:
- Pre-Speech, Language and Hearing;
- Pre-Med;
- RN-Bridge; or
- Prerequisites to get into a Master’s program
What is my aid eligibility if I am in the Teacher Certification Program?
If you have already completed your Master’s Degree in Education and are only getting certified, you can be funded through the Federal Stafford loan program. Provided that you have remaining undergraduate aggregate Stafford loan eligibility, the limit is $5500/year in subsidized funds and $7000/year in unsubsidized funds after July 1, 2007. You must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) per semester. You will be considered a fifth year undergraduate student while taking courses towards teacher certification.
What is my aid eligibility if I am taking Post-Master’s classes in Psychology for state licensure?
Unfortunately, a student who is only enrolled in courses for state licensure is ineligible for aid, except for private alternative loans.
