Financial assistance for Quincy College students is available to
qualified applicants through federal and state grants,
scholarships, loans and work study programs. Each year
approximately 60%
of the student body receives some type of financial
assistance. Quincy College recognizes the importance
of finding the necessary resources
to finance education for students. The Financial Aid
Office is committed to helping students through the
entire process of applying for and
receiving financial aid.
Principles and Practices
Financial Aid is intended to supplement the student and parent(s)
contribution to college costs and is based on need. There are three
types of financial aid: grants and scholarships that do not need to
be repaid, low interest loans that do need to be repaid, and part-time
employment. Most students receive an aid package that combines several
different types of assistance.
Financial Aid eligibility is based on financial need. When a student
completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the
Department of Education calculates an expected family contribution
(EFC). The Financial Aid Office develops a cost of attendance for
each student based on his or her program of study, enrollment status
and dependency status. The EFC is then subtracted from the cost of
education to determine the student’s financial need.
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to
receive financial aid. Satisfactory progress is measured twice a year,
at the end of each semester. In order to maintain satisfactory academic
progress, students must complete 67% of the courses they attempt.
This measurement is taken cumulatively to include all courses attempted
at Quincy College. Additionally each student must maintain a cumulative
grade point average to meet specific standards. By the end of the
first semester, a student must have a GPA greater than or equal to
1.5. By the end of the second semester a student must have a GPA of
2.00 or better. If a student has not achieved the necessary GPA, he/she
will be given one semester of academic warning. By the end of that
semester, he/she must bring their GPA to the level required at that
point in their program. If the student’s GPA does not improve
to the required level after their probationary period, he/she will
lose financial aid eligibility. In order to regain eligibility a student
must attend classes at Quincy College at least halftime until they
meet the required standards.
Upon completion of a student’s financial aid file, the
current charges will be deducted directly from the
Financial Aid award. Students
should apply for financial aid early and respond to all requests for
additional information in a timely fashion.
Students who need help in completing the financial aid forms or need
other types of financial aid information should contact the College’s
Financial Aid Office.
