Financial Aid
Resources are available to help meet the challenge of paying for college. Financial assistance is available from governmental, institutional, and some third-party sources. Our commitment is to assist students in obtaining all the aid for which they are eligible, while funds are available. Aid may be awarded based on academic merit, financial need, and/or campus involvement.
Rochester Christian University participates in a variety of financial aid programs for the benefit of students. Students must meet the eligibility requirements of these programs in order to participate. Rochester Christian University administers its financial aid programs in accordance with prevailing federal and state laws and its own institutional policies. Students are responsible for providing all requested documentation in a timely manner. Failure to do so could jeopardize the student’s financial aid eligibility and enrollment status. In order to remain eligible for financial aid, a student must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined in this catalog. More information about outside aid sources can be accessed from www.finaid.org.
Rochester Christian University recommends that students apply for financial aid, by completing the FAFSA form, as early as possible in order to allow sufficient time for application processing. Financial aid must be approved and accepted and all necessary documentation completed before the financial aid awards can be applied towards tuition and fees. Financial aid is awarded on an academic year basis; therefore, it is necessary to re-apply for financial aid each academic year (https://studentaid.gov/). Students who need additional information and guidance should contact Student Financial Services (sfs@RochesterU.edu).
