TUITION AND EXPENSES
Troy University is particularly proud of its financial aid programs.
The University attempts to provide financial assistance to
the maximum number of students possible. We recognize that in
many instances students and/or parents are simply not able to meet
the entire cost of a college education; consequently, the university
participates in a variety of financial aid programs. The programs
are comprehensive in nature and range from scholarships to work
study.
Approximately 70 percent of our students receive some form
of financial assistance. Students are expected to be prepared with
sufficient funds for maintenance, books and supplies for at least
two weeks. Credit balance refunds are not issued until after the
second week of classes.
Philosophy
It has been recognized that the cost of attending institutions
of post-secondary education is greater than many families can
handle alone. It is the philosophy of the financial aid office that no
one should be denied a post-secondary education due to a lack of
funds. Although it is primarily the responsibility of the student
and/or family to pay college costs, this is not always possible. In
such cases, the student should apply for financial aid to supplement
family resources.
Parents/students should compare their award letters to our
published Cost of Attendance (COA) to determine if sufficient
funds are available for 100% of tuition, fees, room, board, books
and supplies.
How to Apply
Go to FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov to apply for
financial aid.
- Be sure you are applying for the correct year using
school code 001047.
- Just fill in the blanks when prompted.
- Errors are reduced because your answers are checked as
you enter them.
- Your application reaches the federal processor immediately.
- Apply for a U.S. Department of Education Personal
Identification Number (PIN) at www.pin.ed.gov.
- Be sure to complete the Troy University Certification
- Form for the same year as each FAFSA you complete.
- Download and complete all required forms at
www.troy.edu/financialaid.
All students must fill out the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) annually for the academic year covering
their enrollment periods. Financial aid is NEVER renewed automatically.
Priority Dates
The FAFSA should be completed as soon after January 1 as
possible for the approaching fall to be considered for all types of
aid. January through April is the ideal completion period in order
to have your funding available at the beginning of the fall semester.
March 1st is our priority date - the date by which we would
prefer you to have applied. Funds are awarded for the nine month
(fall/spring) academic year - you are expected to save for summer
enrollment from your fall/spring award. If you have any funds
unused, these may be awarded for summer and a Summer Form
should be completed (available from the web site).
If your FAFSA information is received prior to May and your
file is complete in May, your funds (assuming you complete the
MPN with your lender, if required) should be ready to be placed
on your account at the end of free/drop add.
Work study funding is first come first serve. Money is not
saved for students who have worked previously. The same is true
for most other funding except for the Pell Grant and Stafford
Loans.
Financial Aid Disbursement
The transmittal of financial aid will be made on the day after
the drop/add period. Students will be able to receive refund checks
no later than twelve (12) days after the start of classes for the term.
Additional Information
Students enrolling less than full time will have their financial
aid awards reduced or cancelled according to the number of hours
taken. Troy University reserves the right to adjust or cancel any
aid if there is a change in academic or financial status of the aid
recipient or to prevent institutional liability. Applications and brochures
may be obtained by visiting the financial aid offices or by
visiting our web site at www.troy.edu/financialaid and linking to
the federal web site. Financial aid may be in the form of grants,
loans scholarships or employment.
Grants
The grants listed below are based on need. These grants are
available only to undergraduate students who have not received a
previous bachelor’s degree.
• Pell Grants
Pell Grants help undergraduate students who have not earned
a bachelor’s or higher degree pay for their higher education. The
U.S. Department of Education determines who is eligible by using
a formula established by Congress and the information provided
by the applicant on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). This will produce an expected family contribution
(EFC) number. The amount the applicant receives depends on the
EFC, cost of attendance, enrollment status (full-time or part-time),
and length of enrollment.
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
(FSEOG)
FSEOG help undergraduates who hold no bachelor’s or
higher degree and have exceptional financial need. Priority is
given to students with the lowest EFC, determined by information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), who also receive Pell Grants. There is no guarantee that
every eligible student will receive an FSEOG, so it is important to
apply early to have a better chance of receiving a grant. FSEOG
awards are based on the availability of funds at Troy University.
• Federal Work-Study
The federal work-study program is designed to encourage
students to contribute to their educational expenses while decreasing
their debt burden. If you wish to have your eligibility reviewed
for this award, please contact the student financial aid office. Priority
is given to students with the lowest EFC, determined by information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), who also receive Pell Grants. There is no guarantee
that every eligible student will receive or renew a work-study
award, so it is important to apply early to have a better chance of receiving a job. Work-study awards are based on the availability
of funds at Troy University.
• Federal Perkins Loan Program
The Perkins Loan program provides low-interest loans to help
undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial
need pay for their higher education. The general loan limits depend,
in part, on the student’s year in school. Students attending
school at least half-time do not begin repaying their loan until nine
months after they graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time
status. Less-than-half-time students may have a different grace
period. Borrowers have up to 10 years to repay the loan. Troy
University has limited access to Perkins Loan funds. Priority is
given to students with the lowest EFC, determined by information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), who also receive Pell Grants. There is no guarantee that
every eligible student will receive a Perkins Loan, so it is important
to apply early to have a better chance. Perkins Loans are
based on the availability of funds at Troy University. If you have
been awarded a Perkins Loan, you may download, print, complete,
and return the signed Perkins Promissory Note from our website.

Federal Stafford Loans
The Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) requires
a FAFSA and includes the following federal programs:
• Subsidized Loans
Subsidized loans are awarded based on the student’s calculated
need from the FAFSA. The interest is paid by the government
while at least half-time enrollment is maintained. You are
charged a 3% to 4% fee by the federal government when you borrow;
the amount of your loan sent to the school is reduced by that
fee. Repayment begins six months after enrollment has ceased or
dropped to below half-time status. Once in repayment interest rate
is variable and caps at 8.25%.
• Unsubsidized Loans
Unsubsidized loans are not based on calculated need, but still
necessitate the filing of the FAFSA for eligibility determination.
You are charged a 3% to 4% fee by the Federal government when
you borrow; the amount of your loan sent to the school is reduced
by that fee. Interest rate is a maximum of 8.25%. Interest is not
paid by the Federal government, and the student is responsible for
all interest associated with the loan. Interest payments can be capitalized
(added to the loan at repayment) if no payments are made
during enrollment. Repayment begins six months after enrollment
has ceased or dropped below half time.
• Federal Parent PLUS Loan
Federal Parent PLUS Loan is for parents of dependent students
and is not based on need but a FAFSA is required. Parents
may qualify for the PLUS Loan for the difference between your
education costs and the amount financial aid you are awarded.
However, parents must have a favorable credit rating in order to
qualify for the PLUS Loan. If you are offered the PLUS Loan and
you accept it, you will be sent a separate loan application for your
parents to fill out and return to the student financial aid office for
certification; parents may also download a form from the web site
and apply for the PLUS loan.
Interest rates for the Federal Stafford and PLUS Loans vary.
The federal government pays the interest on the subsidized federal
Stafford Loan until repayment begins. The borrower is responsible
for all interest that accrues on the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford
and PLUS Loans from the time the loan is disbursed. More detailed
information is provided with the loan application.
When making decisions about accepting loans, we urge you
to carefully consider your total loan indebtedness and the amount
you will pay on your loan given your expected earnings from your
intended career. For more information about Stafford Loans,
please review the KHEAA website at www.kheaa.org. KHEAA’s
“Paying for Higher Education” area has excellent information.
