财政援助政策

We maintain a robust 金融 aid program that makes a 皇冠体育 education affordable for every admitted student. 本页重点介绍了我们的一些政策和指导方针. 助学金手册[pdf] 是否会提供关于以下主题以及其他政策的额外信息.

财政援助政策

财政援助资金的来源

The 金融 aid program at 皇冠体育大学 uses a combination funding sources including federal grants (Pell and FSEOG), 国家拨款, and institutional scholarships to offer a complete 金融 aid package to each eligible student. 

获得机构援助的资格是基于CSS简介的. The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student 援助) is the only form required to apply for and receive federal 金融 aid which includes the Federal Pell Grant Program, 联邦补充机会补助金(FSEOG), 国家拨款项目包括 卡尔格兰特联邦工作学习和联邦贷款. 有关联邦援助计划的更多信息可在 studentaid.政府.

学生 are strongly encouraged to apply for grants and scholarships from private outside sources.  这些基金, 当与大学管理的奖项相协调时, 可以降低支付大学费用吗. The total aid received by students from all sources cannot exceed the student's total cost of attendance. 校外奖学金的申请方式如下:

  • 降低标准学生供款(一年级学生1,900美元)
  • 减少学生工作奖励(2800美元)
  • 减少家长的预期供款(金额因学生而异)
  • 减少皇冠体育学院奖学金
  • Please note: Some outside scholarship organizations have rules that are more restrictive, 在这种情况下, 我们必须遵守外部奖学金组织的要求

外面的奖学金

如果学生从私人外部来源获得资助, 等奖学金, 这些资金将与学院管理的奖励相协调. 请访问 我们的奖学金网页 了解更多信息.

学费福利和529计划付款

Some students may receive 金融 assistance in the form of tuition benefit from their parent(s)' employer.  如果期望这样的好处,家庭应该报告CSS概要.  在某些情况下,这可能是学生获得的唯一经济援助.  如果你没有申请学院的资助, 你仍然应该向我们的办公室报告任何预期的学费补助.

所有学生的付款都应在CSS档案中报告. 报告资金来源是很重要的. 529 assets saved by your parent(s) should be reported as a parent asset on the FAFSA and CSS Profile. 529 payments from a plan saved on behalf of the student by someone other than the parent must be reported as untaxed student income on the FAFSA and CSS Profile in the following academic year.

令人满意的学业进展

The 令人满意的学业进展 (SAP) policy is designed to ensure that all students who are receiving 金融 aid are making adequate progress toward completing their degree program. 学生 receiving 金融 assistance will receive standard 金融 aid packaging (no loans) for 8 semesters of enrollment. Standard full time enrollment for all students is four full courses in each of the eight semesters; the minimum is three courses. The Academic Standards Committee (ASC) meets bi-annually to review any students not meeting the quantitative or qualitative standards set by the College. The Academic Procedures Committee (APC) is a standing committee charged with ruling on a student's petition for exceptions to the academic rules and regulations of the faculty. 有关学术标准的详细资料,请参阅 皇冠体育学院目录.

休假

皇冠体育大学抽身一学期, 一年, 或者更多——可能会影响你的财务奖励或贷款偿还. 在你做决定之前,回顾一下 我们的休假政策.

额外的入学学期

学生 requiring additional semesters of enrollment beyond 8 semesters to complete their studies at 皇冠体育 will need to petition the Academic Standards Committee for approval. 如果得到批准, students are welcome to apply to renew their aid by following the standard renewal procedures. 然而, the 金融 aid offer will include additional loan and work allotment awarded to meet student need and/or increased expected family contribution before any scholarship or grant assistance will be offered.

独立的学生

管理大学资助的经济援助, 皇冠体育 defines independent student status more strictly than the definition found on the federal application. 受法院监护的申请人, orphans or who have been part of extremely adverse home situations that have led to estrangement from their families may request consideration for 金融 aid as independent students. 如果你认为你有资格获得独立学生身份, please contact the Office of 金融援助 directly to learn what documentation you will be required to submit. Written verification of estrangement from the family will be required from a court official or social worker.

情况改变

有时候事情会变. You may always appeal to the 金融援助 Committee for a reconsideration of your award decision if your family experiences a significant change in circumstances. 我们全年定期举行会议,讨论对更多援助的呼吁.

If you have new information to bring to our attention, you should contact us or submit a 更改情况表格 要求复审你的奖励决定. 通常最好先和财务援助官员直接交谈, and then follow up with a detailed letter of explanation and any supporting documents as instructed by the officer.

学生健康保险计划(SHIP)

All students enrolled in SHIP who receive 皇冠体育大学 金融 aid will be provided with grant assistance to cover half of the cost of the health insurance. 欢迎学生申请贷款支付剩余的一半保险费, 否则,这笔费用将包括在秋季学期的发票中. 学生 who do not receive 皇冠体育大学 金融 aid can contact the Office of 金融援助 to request loan assistance to cover the full cost. 学生健康保险手册可从 学生办公室主任.

应税奖学金、研究金和助学金

一般, 根据国税局的法律, 学生不应该为奖学金纳税, 如果他们用奖学金或助学金来支付学费, 费用, 书, 以及上课或注册所需的设备. 然而, 这些资金用于附带用途的任何部分, 包括住房和食物, 可以包括在你当年的应税收入中吗. 因此, you may have to pay income tax on the portion of the aid spent on items like travel, 研究, 还有医疗保险.

You will receive a 1099MISC form in January for the prior year if the total of all special summer scholarships, 奖学金或助学金超过599美元. 确定部分或全部资金不需纳税, 保存收据, canceled checks and other documents that could show the total amount of qualifying expenses and contact your personal tax advisor to determine how to report these non-taxable funds.

Additionally, international students whose countries do not have tax treaties with the U.S. and students without Social Security numbers or individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITIN) have withholding requirements on all aid amounts as follows:

与美国没有税收协定的国家的国际学生.S.:

  • 联邦预扣税- 14%
  • 加州预扣税-如果支付金额超过$1,499,则为7%


学生 without Social Security numbers or individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITIN):

  • 联邦预扣税- 28%
  • 加州预扣税- 7%
