Paying for Howard
A degree from a tier-one
university is one of the few investments with all-but-guaranteed return. A
Howard University education opens doors in the professional world and unleashes
intellectual and financial potential.
Yet with the increasing costs
of higher education, college requires a major financial expenditure for
families.
To help, Howard University offers a wide variety of methods
of payment and financial assistance programs to students who, without such
assistance, would not be able to attend a university.
Grants, Scholarships & Fellowships
Grants, scholarships, and fellowship funds come from
various programs both inside and outside of the University. They may have a
variety of requirements not related to financial need. Foundations, alumni and
many University scholarship and fellowship funds are awarded by committees of
the University’s schools and colleges in cooperation with Financial Aid. If
interested, you should contact your school, college or The Office of Financial
Aid. Full-time enrollment is usually required by agencies that award private
scholarships. If you are awarded for less than full-time enrollment, the donor
must inform the the Office of Financial Aid in writing.
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grant is a federally funded program for
undergraduate students who have not earned a baccalaureate degree. Eligibility
is determined by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) based on a standard
formula established by Congress. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) will tell you if
you are eligible for a Pell Grant. Award amounts vary, are based on financial
need, and the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled. The maximum
amount is set each year. For correct information click here.
