州和联邦补助金,工作学习

Grants are money that you don't repay, and they can come from government or private sources. SAU receives all financial aid funds directly - including loans and grants - then applies them to your account: once in the fall term and once in the spring term. 助学金可以用来支付你的学费、书本费和住宿费. 你必须每学年申请助学金. If you have any loan funds in excess of your costs, you may receive a refund. If you are a first-time borrower, there is a 30-day hold on your first disbursement. 对于所有这些补助金,您必须完成免费申请 免费申请联邦学生援助(FAFSA) as soon as it is available.


Iowa Tuition Grant
To be eligible for the Iowa Tuition Grant, you must be a resident of Iowa as defined by the State Board of Regents and currently enrolled or planning to enroll in an undergraduate degree program at an eligible Iowa college or university (SAU is eligible). Iowa College Aid administers need-based college financial aid for Iowans, such as the Iowa Tuition Grant.
Award: $7,500 maximum

Federal Pell Grant
Awarded to students of the highest need based on how much your family can contribute to your education. The U.S. 教育部设定了一个门槛. Then, when you file your 免费申请联邦学生资助 (FAFSA), it computes where you land within that threshold and determines if you qualify for the grant and for how much.
Award: $6,895 maximum

联邦补充教育机会补助金(FSEOG)
You must file a FAFSA to qualify for a Pell Grant. 此补助金以先到者为准, first-served basis to students who have submitted all required documents for review and in time for the review to be complete. 如果你有资格获得佩尔助学金或SEOG, 这些奖项将出现在你的经济援助奖励信上.

Brandy Jurevitz ’19 BSN


布兰迪知道一个好护士应该关注病人和病人的家人. She gained that perspective during several volunteer positions and a preceptorship at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, 她现在是一名普通儿科护士. “这些经历让我成为了一名更好的护士. I not only take care of patients, but I also see how it is impacting the whole family and I try to take care of them as well," Brandy said. 超越是她在SAU教育中体现的一种价值观. “我喜欢上海外国语大学的护理课程. Education is on a personal level and every professor makes you feel special and important, 你很聪明,会成为一名出色的护士.”
