In order to receive all institutional scholarships, a student must complete a FAFSA, be accepted and enrolled full-time, demonstrate financial need, and maintain satisfactory academic progress.

Outside Scholarships
In addition to financial aid awarded by Crown College, students can apply for outside scholarships. Scholarship search sites, such as FastWeb.com, SallieMae.com/scholarship, scholarships.com, scholarshipamerica.org and TuitionFundingSources.com provide thousands of nation-wide scholarships. You can also search for outside scholarships in their community. Students and their family may have connections to organizations or businesses that may offer scholarships that are not advertised.
Applying for outside scholarships can take a lot of time and effort. Being prepared with a good application and well-written essay is the best way to make a search pay off. Scholarship opportunities can arise at any time, and students should continue to search throughout their college education.
Make sure scholarship information and offers are legitimate; and remember that students do not have to pay to find scholarships. Never give personal information over the phone or internet unless it is a known contact. For more information go to https://studentaid.gov/resources/scams

Award Letter Information
Financial Aid offers
Once an applicant is accepted to Crown and the financial aid file is complete, a financial aid offer will be prepared and emailed to the applicant. This offer will include information and requirements for student loans (if applicable). Financial aid is normally based on full-time enrollment (12+ credits per term for undergraduate students and 6+ credits for graduate students). Any reduction in credits below full-time levels may affect a student’s financial aid package. Financial aid will be recalculated for undergraduate students enrolled for less than 12 credits.
Verification
The Department of Education selects a percentage of financial aid applicants for a process called verification. Crown College may also select students for verification. Selected students must complete and submit the following documents:
- Verification worksheet (supplied by Crown)
- A signed IRS tax return or tax transcript (if requested)
- IRS W2 Forms (if requested)
- Other documents as needed
Students selected for verification will be notified by the Department of Education and/or Crown College. Verification documents should be submitted within 30 days of request. Federal funds cannot be disbursed until all documents are submitted.
