A financial aid package usually contains different types of financial aid from multiple sources. Its objective is to help you cover the cost of attending college.

If you have been accepted at North Park, a package will be created for you. The award letter you receive will outline the best financial aid package North Park University can provide for you based on your test scores, GPA, talent scholarship applications, and FAFSA information.

While it will likely not cover your full cost of attending North Park, we can offer you information on other options you may have for additional loans or a payment plan.

You’ll receive a new financial aid package only for your first year. For subsequent years, the same awards will stand, in the same amounts.

For example, if you qualify for an academic scholarship when you enroll the first time, you’ll continue to receive that scholarship at the same amount each year. The only variations may be in the amounts of student loans you are eligible to borrow.

• Scholarships (both academic and talent-based)
• Grants (both need-and affiliation-based)
• Federal loans
• Work-study (on-campus employment for undergraduate students)

Any financing that you plan to receive from private organizations or groups—such as outside scholarships or private loans—won’t be included in your package from North Park. If you plan on using veteran’s benefits, these cannot be applied until you complete the necessary paperwork with the Veterans Administration (VA).

The U.S. Department of Education also provides general resources and information about student aid options. Learn more at www.studentaid.gov.

You may request reconsideration of your financial aid award through North Park University’s financial aid appeal process.
