Seeking info on financial aid at Cheyney University.

I just got my acceptance letter from Cheyney University (super excited!) but I'm trying to work out details for financing. Does anyone know what kind of financial aid they offer? Any experiences or insights would be super helpful.

Congratulations on your acceptance to Cheyney University! That's certainly an achievement to celebrate. Now, to your question about financial aid.

Cheyney University offers a variety of financial aid options for students, including federal, state, and institutional aid. These come in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and loans.

Federal grants, such as the Pell Grant and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), are need-based grants that don't need to be repaid. You'll need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for these.

State aid would come in the form of Pennsylvania State Grant Program, assuming you're a Pennsylvania resident.

Cheyney University also offers institutional scholarships. These can be based on need or merit, and it's definitely worth checking out the university's Office of Financial Aid webpage for details on what's currently available.

In addition to these, there are federal and private loans and work-study programs that can also help cover the cost of your education. Federal work-study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate students with financial needs, allowing them to earn money to help cover education expenses.

Keep in mind to always accept free money (grants and scholarships) first, earned money (work-study) second, and borrowed money (loans) last. And always start by filling out the FAFSA – it can qualify you for a range of aid, including grants, scholarships, work-study and federal student loans.

Hope this helps, and congrats again on your acceptance!
