Sources of Financial Aid

  • Subsidized Direct Student Loan Program – If you are unable to meet tuition expenses from grants, work and family assistance, you may be eligible to apply for a subsidized Direct Student Loan. Maximum loan amounts and current interest rates for the loan may be obtained at the time of application. The loan is guaranteed by the federal government, which pays the interest while the student is in school. Contact the Financial Aid Office for information on application procedures.
  • Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan – You may also be eligible for an Unsubsidized Direct Loan.
  • Federal Pell Grant – The Federal Pell Grant is a student financial aid program designed to assist students in the continuation of their education after high school. A student who does not have a bachelor’s degree, is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and is enrolled on at least a half-time basis in an eligible institution may apply for a Federal Pell Grant. Eligibility is determined by the student’s/family’s financial resources, according to a formula developed and reviewed by the U.S. Department of Education and Congress.
  • Federal PLUS Loans – Creditworthy parents of dependent undergraduate students may borrow under the Direct PLUS Loan program. Contact the Financial Aid Office for information on maximum loan limitations, application and disbursement procedures, and current interest rates.
  • Disbursement of the Loans – Disbursements are issued to the school and electronically transferred into the student’s tuition account. The student must be in attendance and be making satisfactory progress to receive the loan. Hinton Barber College requires students to bring their tuition accounts up to date at the time the funds are disbursed.
