Federal Aid Programs

General Eligibility Criteria

All of the federal aid programs require that a student completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility. In addition, a student must meet the following requirements in order to receive any type of federal financial assistance:

Be a U. S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program.
Have a high school diploma or GED (NETC does not award and disburse aid to students under the ability-to-benefit guidelines).
Not in default on a Title IV student loan borrowed at any institution.
Not owe a refund or repayment on a Title IV grant or scholarship received at any institution.
Be registered for Selective Service (for males only).
Have a valid Social Security number.
Not be enrolled in a dual program (high school and college at the same time)
Be in satisfactory academic standing with documented progress.

Federal Pell Grant

Students who receive a Federal Pell Grant do not have to pay any of the grant award back. This money is yours to use toward your college education. Awards range from $692 to $6,8955 per year based on enrollment status. It is available to full-time, three-quarter time, half-time or less than half-time students. Eligibility is determined by a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Education.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

If you are a recipient of the Federal Pell Grant, you may receive a supplement called the FSEOG. Awards at NETC average $1000 per year, depending on need and the availability of funds. This grant award, like the Pell, does not have to be repaid. It is available to full-time, three-quarter time, half-time or less than half-time students. Students receiving assistance from WIA or TAA will not be eligible for need-based grants.

Federal Work-Study (FWS)

The Federal Work-Study is a campus-based program that provides jobs ranging from 8 to 20 hours per week for students with financial need. Students can apply for work study online.
