4.  SECURE YOUR FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS

Ensure that you have made arrangements to finance your education. In financing
your CGU education, there are two types of aid you can apply for: institutional aid
and federal aid.

• Institutional Aid: When you first applied to CGU, you most likely submitted
  a Profile/Institutional Aid Request form for your academic department to consider you for an award.  The awards they are able to give to selected students are usually in the form of fellowships, research assistantships and teaching assistantships and minority fellowships. If you have questions regarding these types of awards, please contact your academic department directly, or you can visit the Office os Student Financing's page on Institutional Aid.
  
  
• Federal Aid:  Graduate students enrolled in a degree program who meet general eligibility requirements, including U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, may apply for federal loans or other federal and state assistance.  Information is available on the Office of Student Financing web site.
  Additional information regarding external grant and scholarship resources can be found there, public or university libraries, or on the World Wide Web at www.fastweb.com.  
  
  
• Once an award has been made of either Institutional and/or Federal Aid, you
  will receive a letter from the Office of Student Financing detailing the award.
  Please read and follow all the instructions given with the award letter to
  ensure the monies credit to your account.
