How much financial aid can I receive?

Federal financial aid is awarded yearly.   How much you can receive each year is based on your income and cost of living+ school.   Most programs at Bene's are timed so you may earn federal financial aid in two award years.    Our financial aid department works with each student to determine their eligibility and how much assistance they can be awarded.   

Here is a quick tool that walks through the types of questions asked on the FASFA and provides an ESTIMATE of what you would have awarded in a previous financial year.   Remember this is for only one year, and each student needs to complete the steps listed below to actually be awarded Financial Aid.

How do I apply for Financial Aid?  How do I pay for School?

Financial aid is awarded as grants, scholarships and loans from various federal, state, institutional and private sources, as well as through on-campus student employment.  Financial aid is available to students with and without financial need.  

How do I start the Financial Aid Process?
In order to see what you can qualify for you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).  This will help to determine how much financial aid may be able to receive.
