Hope International University, like all other colleges and universities, utilizes the federal standardized methodology to calculate your need. 由于费用、资金、政策等方面的差异,实际奖励可能因学校而异. 一般来说,使用的方法可以用以下计算来解释: College Costs - Expected Family Contribution = Your Financial Need.

We also consider outside financial aid sources and benefits such as, private scholarships, vocational rehabilitation benefits, etc. before awarding financial aid.

4. How do I get my award and/or refund?

要“激活”您的奖励,您必须在两(2)周内填写并返回所需的文件. Should you wish to decline or request any changes to the offer, please so indicate on your Award Letter. 为了将经济援助资金应用到你的大学账户, 这些条件必须满足:a)你的经济援助文件必须是完整的,并且可以支付, b)来自外部来源的资金必须由大学接收. 当学校向胜博发体育app的账户申请财政援助资金,而资金超过了允许的费用时,就会出现信用余额. 允许的费用包括学费、杂费、食宿费(如果适用).

如果你有学分余额,并且没有授权学校在你的胜博发体育app账户上保留这个学分, then a refund check is available within 10 business days. Refunds can only be made after classes have started. 请记住,在收到所有必要的文件和资金到达之前,经济援助资金可能会延迟. 如果你的经济援助用于支付费用,但不包括你的所有费用, you must use your own resources to pay any balance due. 有关付款方式的详细信息,请与您的胜博发体育app账户代表联系.

5. How Does Work Study "Work"?

联邦工作学习是一项由联邦政府资助的项目,为胜博发体育app提供通过兼职工作赚取收入的机会. If your Award Letter includes a Work Study amount, 一旦你到达校园,你就需要开始申请勤工俭学的工作. 主管根据胜博发体育app申请人的技能和能力选择胜博发体育app从事各种工作, job requirements, and other job related criteria. Competition for these jobs is very high. 学校鼓励胜博发体育app通过制作简历或获得一些兼职工作经验来为竞争激烈的申请过程做好准备. 你的奖学金代表了你通过勤工俭学可以获得的最高金额, but it does not guarantee employment.

6. Must I Apply for the Direct Loan listed on my Award Letter?

No, you are not obligated to take out a Direct Loan. Should you choose to do so, 填写主本票(MPN),并将其与获奖信和任何其他要求的文件一起返回. 因为你的MPN有效期为10年,所以你不需要再提交贷款申请. The amount listed on your Award Letter is the maximum you can borrow; you may borrow less.

All federal, 当胜博发体育app改变注册状态(完全退出或减少到不到一半的时间)时,州和机构的课程需要按法定比例计算退款。. Thus, adjustments to your award are necessary. Also, reduction in units can affect your award. 在任何情况下,一旦知道,我们将发送修改后的奖励信通知您任何更改. Any funds that you have already received, but for which you are now no longer eligible, must be returned.
