THE FINANCIAL AID PROCESS

• Apply for Admission to Cincinnati Christian University.
  You must be accepted for admission before any aid may be disbursed to your student account.
• Contact the Admisssions Office regarding eligibility for institutional scholarships.
• Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the Federal Processor as soon as possible after January 1. The results of this application will determine your eligibility for federal and state aid (Pell Grant, SEOG, Federal Work-Study, Federal Stafford Loans, Ohio Instructional Grant, and Pennsylvania State Grant). You may submit the FAFSA electronically and sign it using a PIN at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you do not have a PIN, you may request one at www.pin.ed.gov. If you are a dependent student, your parent will need a PIN, too. The paper version of the
  FAFSA is available from the Financial Aid Office.
• Undergraduate Ohio residents should complete the Ohio Student Choice Grant Application.
• If requested, submit federal tax forms and other financial information or documentation to the Financial Aid Office for Verification.
• The Financial Aid Office will send you an Award Packet to inform you of your aid eligibility for the school year. This eligibility will be based on the results of your FAFSA. Review your financial aid award and contact the Financial Aid Office with questions. You must sign and return a copy of the Award Letter. If you wish to decline any of the aid listed, make the appropriate indication on your Award Letter.
• If you are borrowing in the Federal Family Education Loan Program, carefully follow the instructions outlined in your Award Packet. Cincinnati Christian University works with a list of Preferred Lenders through which federal loans are certified electronically and received by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Students who wish to use a lender not on the list may do so. Please contact Student Financial Services if you have any questions about choosing a lender. All federal loan funds are sent directly to the school.
• Students who are awarded Federal Work-Study should complete the Student Worker Job Skills and Interest Form and return it to the CCU Human Resources Office. Eligible students typically will receive the form with their Financial Aid Award Notifications.
• CCU has established standards of satisfactory academic progress to encourage students to complete courses for which financial aid is received. A student whose cumulative grade point average fails to meet the minimum standards noted above will be placed on one semester of financial aid probation. Failure to bring the cumulative grade-point average up to the required minimum after the probationary semester will result in financial aid suspension.

CCU Preferred Lenders

• CCU has selected the lenders on its Preferred Lender List based on the following criteria: customer service, ease of process, borrower benefits, and financial literacy programs and company stability.

• Fifth-Third Bank
• Student Loan Funding
• US Bank
