Grants are awards based on financial aid and do not need to be repayed.

·         Pell Grant - Awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. The Pell Grant is generally the benchmark for qualifying for other types of grant aid.

·         Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant - An additional grant awarded to the neediest students that submitted their FAFSA before the March 15th priority deadline.

·         Kansas Comprehensive Grant - Formerly known as the Regent's Supplemental Grant, this is a state grant awarded to the neediest students

Loans are aid that must be repaid, with interest.

·         Perkins Loan - A loan in which FHSU serves as the lender. This loan has a fixed interest rate.

·         Federal Stafford Loans - There are two types of Federal Stafford Loans: Unsubsidized and Subsidized. The Unsubsidized Loan is one in which the interest begins accumulating upon disbursement. For the Subsidized Loan, the Federal government pays the interest while the student remains in school. Interest rates for these loans fluctuate and are set every July 1.

·         Plus Loan-  The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students is a loan taken by the parent in order to assist in their child's education. The FAFSA does not serve as an application for this loan. For an application, contact the Financial Assistance Office.

·         Alternative Loan - Given to students who do not have any financial aid eligibility remaining, if they qualify. The FAFSA does not serve as an application for this loan. For an application, visit our Signature Loan web page.

·         Student Computer Loan Program-  Eligible borrowers must be first-time, full-time and degree-seeking freshmen. You must be admitted to FHSU to be considered for a computer loan. Remember that a co-signer is required on the promissory note. FHSU reserves the right to deny loans.

FHSU Student Computer Loan Procedure:

• Since loan funds are limited, the FHSU Student Computer Loan Committee will review applications.
• After review of the application, the student will be notified in writing of the committee's decision.
• If a computer loan is awarded to a prospective student, a promissory note will be mailed to that student.
• In order to receive the student loan, the instructions on the promissory note must be completed in the specified time frame.
