Student Emergency Loan Program
The Student Emergency Loan Program was established to make privately donated funds available as loans to students whose financial needs are such that they will be forced to drop out of school without this assistance. These loans are to be paid back within the semester.
Students must file a written application with the director of financial aid. Priority is given to students showing academic promise. The amount varies with the individual need. A student is eligible to receive this assistance only once per academic year. The loans are awarded only as long as funds are available and on a first—come, first—served basis.
