Financial AID

[ss20ts]

6 credits is part time. The theory is that you're working so you can pay the tuition and fees yourself out of pocket. A full time student has a much more difficult time working a full time job to pay for classes so they get full financial aid packages. It's rare to find a scholarship for part time students. Not saying they don't exist, but they're not common and scholarships are very competitive.

You need to look at the full picture. How much is the degree total going to cost you attending part time versus full time? Don't use financial aid in this calculation. If you get it great, but don't count on it.
