Gift aid (grants/scholarships) for part-time students is based on their financial need as determined by the FAFSA. Because part-time students are charged on a per-credit basis, there is no institutional financial aid available (other than the Part-time Studies Scholarship). The most common sources for gift aid are:
- Federal Government
