Eligibility
All applicants for financial aid at Bloomsburg University must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Some students also will be requested to complete the PHEAA Grant Status Notice, which will be mailed to the student by PHEAA. Eligibility for all financial aid programs at Bloomsburg is determined on the basis of the information submitted on these forms. There is no fee to process these applications.
Male students who are at least 18 years of age must be registered with the Selective Service System. Students must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Students in the United States on F1 or F2 student visas are not eligible for federal aid.
Satisfactory progress must be maintained by all students to remain eligible for financial aid. Students are urged to become familiar with the university's satisfactory progress policy.
Students are required to submit supporting documentation (i.e. 1040 tax forms, verification of household size, number in college, social security benefits, etc.) if requested to do so by the Office of Financial Aid. Financial aid cannot be paid until the verification requirements have been completed. If verification is not completed prior to your final day of enrollment in the academic year, financial aid except for Federal Pell Grant will be canceled. Pell verification must be completed prior to the date established by the Secretary of Education (usually 120 days after the final day of enrollment or August 31, 2010, whichever is earlier, for the 2009-2010 academic year).
