The Financial Aid Office (FAO) at Richland College (RLC) administers grants, scholarships,
work-study, and loans for students. This aid is from federal, state, DCCCD and institutional
sources and is awarded based on need. Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid.
Work-study is on-campus employment, and loans are required to be repaid upon completion of
the student’s degree program, or when the student drops below half-time enrollment.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL AID
The primary eligibility requirements students must meet in order to receive aid include: enrolling
in at least six hours in a degree or certificate program; demonstrating need; being a U.S. citizen;
and maintaining satisfactory academic progress as defined by the FAO. In addition, students
are required to complete the printed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or
the electronic application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Questions about the FAFSA application can be
directed to the U.S. Department of Education at 1-800-4FED-AID or the Richland FAO.
Approximately 2-4 weeks after completing the eligibility requirements and receiving the FAFSA
results, the FAO will send the student a letter detailing the student’s eligibility for aid.
GRANTS
The major grant programs available at RLC include the Federal Pell Grant, and the Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). Students must meet the general
eligibility criteria listed above and complete the FAFSA application to be considered for all grants
at Richland. In addition, RLC’s grant program funding is limited and generally awarded to early
applicants. Students are encouraged to complete their FAFSA application by May 1 to increase
their likelihood of receiving a grant(s) for the upcoming fall and spring terms.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The DCCCD Foundation Office makes available FAO Controlled, Foundation Controlled and
Department Controlled scholarships for students attending any of the seven DCCCD campuses.
All Foundation scholarships require a minimum of six hours and at least a 2.0 GPA. To be
considered for a Foundation scholarship, students must submit a Foundation Scholarship
Application to the Richland FAO by the advertised deadline. In addition, the office administers
some RLC institutional scholarships. Students should contact the Richland FAO to determine
scholarship criteria and application instructions.
COLLEGE WORK-STUDY
The College Work-Study Program provides students who are eligible for financial aid with
employment at Richland to offset the cost of attending college. It also provides a meaningful
work experience that enhances the student’s education and makes a positive contribution to the
student’s learning experience for future employment. Employment referral is available to students
year-round; however, most job assignments are filled during the first two weeks of the new
academic year. This employment is continuous throughout the academic year.
FEDERAL LOANS
Richland College participates in the Direct Student Loan Federal Stafford program. Students are
required to complete an Entrance Counseling quiz and a Master Promissory note for these loans.
Information on these loans can be found at www.richlandcollege.edu/finaid or www.dcccd.edu.
STAFFORD LOANS
Stafford Loans, unlike grants or college work-study, are borrowed money that must be repaid, with
interest. These are real loans - just like car loans or mortgages. You cannot have these loans cancelled
because you didn’t like the education you received or because you are having financial difficulty.
These loans are a serious obligation, so think about the amount you’ll have to repay over the years
before you take out a loan. Interested students can inquire at the financial aid office at Thunderduck
Hall or go online www.richlandcollege.edu/finaid or www.dcccd.edu for information.
Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan - awarded on the basis of financial need. You won’t be charged
any interest before you begin repayment or during deferment periods. The federal government
“subsidizes” the interest during these periods.
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan - not awarded on the basis of financial need. You’ll be charged
15
interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it’s paid in full. If you allow the interest to accrue
(accumulate) while you’re in school or during periods of nonpayment, it will be capitalized. This
means that interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan, and additional interest will
be based on that higher amount.
