Financial Aid and Scholarships

 

There are a number of types of financial aid available. None discriminate on the basis or race, religion, color, sex or national origin and all students are urged to review the list to see which will fill their need. The School will consider candidates for Pell Grants, Connecticut Independent College Student Grants, Stafford Loans, PLUS loans and Supplemental Loans for Students. In addition, the School of Engineering has a number of named scholarships which are awarded to engineering students annually on the basis of need and academic qualifications.

Furthermore, many corporations, school systems and hospitals have a tuition reimbursement plan for their employees. Students should check their company policies and procedures which apply to degree studies.

Also, Treasury regulation (1.162.5) permits an income tax deduction for educational expenses (registration fees and cost of travel, meals and lodging) undertaken to: (1) maintain or improve skills required in one's employment or other trade or business, or (2) meet express requirements of an employer or a law imposed as a condition to retention of employment job status or rate of compensation.

Finally, veterans may apply educational benefits to degree studies pursued at Fairfield University. Veterans should submit their file numbers at the time of registration. The University Registrar's office will complete and submit the certification form.

Counseling in this area is available through the Financial Aid Office and the Associate Dean of the School of Engineering.
