The Federal Pell Grant does not have to be paid back. Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant: The Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant is for students with exceptional financial need. Dependent upon the application date, financial need, existing funding, and the financial aid office policies at Plaza, students receiving the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant may receive between $100 and $4,000 per year.

Once you graduate or separate from the College, these loans must be paid back. Federal Direct Parent Loan Program (PLUS): The Federal Direct Parent Loan Program (PLUS) is an unsubsidized loan program for parents of dependent students that assists with the cost of attendance minus all other awarded financial aid. Interest in PLUS loans begins accruing immediately while the student is in school and during grace and deferment periods. Non-Federal Alternative Loan Programs: These loans are a source of funds for students who may be ineligible for loans under one of the federal programs and are available through several banks, agencies, and credit unions. Borrowers or their co-signers must be citizens or eligible non-citizens and pass a credit check. The Financial Aid office can provide more detailed information. View full university

When Jamestown Business College was founded in 1886, its charter called for the "establishment of a school designed to qualify young men and women for office requirements at low cost to those whose inclinations and ambitions lead them to business pursuits." The college's mission remains fundamentally the same today. The college fulfills this mission by offering degree and non-degree programs that develop professional competencies for business careers and provide general education to contribute to each student's intellectual and emotional growth. The various programs meet student needs and the demands of the area community. The measure of the college's success will be evidenced by the success of its graduates in finding relevant employment by the partnerships the college has forged with the business community and by the opportunities available to students interested in pursuing additional education. Jamestown Business College is dedicated to believing that its programs should prepare students to enter the workforce and take part fully in today's society. The college offers general education courses to help students think logically and critically, improve their communication skills, achieve self-knowledge, work cooperatively in teams, and develop an appreciation of life-long learning. These are essential skills for graduates to possess in our rapidly changing society and increasingly complex workplace. All students are encouraged by the faculty and staff to achieve their academic and personal potential. To accomplish this, the college provides a supportive environment in which students can access a range of academic, personal, and career services. It is also essential to the college that its student body represents all segments of the diverse community it serves, adding richness and strength to the teaching and learning process. Our mission is to educate and empower students to enter the workplace with the knowledge and professional skills necessary to be successful in business, advance their education, and participate fully in our community and society. There are two essential elements in creating and maintaining protective programs and systems: understanding students and employees of campus crime and safety hazards and communication methods and activities to reduce or eliminate security and safety threats and hazards. Therefore, it is the policy of Jamestown Business College that all students and employees of Jamestown Business College are to report criminal acts and safety hazards or occurrences known to them. In the event of any concern, the proper reporting procedure for everyone is to contact Jamestown Business College's administrative staff at 716.664.5100 during regular operating hours. In the event of an immediate threat, danger, injury, or criminal occurrence, you are advised to call the local police/fire/emergency medical service in your jurisdiction first. Management program prepares students for a wide range of advanced professional options in the business arena. The program focuses on implementing strategic business practices, the role of ethics in the workplace, decision-making strategy, and global business practice knowledge. The advanced business administration curriculum includes operations management, critical thinking, human resources, business ethics, organizational behavior, and project management. The Dean provides personalized counseling and assistance to students who are interested in a transfer. Students interested in transferring should contact the Dean to learn about the institutions to which JBC graduates have recently transferred their JBC credits. Acceptance of credit is solely determined by the institution to which the student is applying. Jamestown Business College has an agreement with the James Prendergast Library to provide library services for JBC students. The James Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry Street, Jamestown, NY, near the college. The mission of the James Prendergast Library is to provide access to information resources, staff, facilities, and services that respond to the pursuit of knowledge, education, lifelong learning opportunities, and cultural enrichment by the people of the City of Jamestown and Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. The library is open to the general public but is Jamestown Business College's number one resource in the area. Prendergast Library's reference staff meets with all students during their ENG151 course to demonstrate how to use the library's databases and resources. At Jamestown Business College, we understand that most students' significant concern is how they will pay for college. That is why JBC's Financial Aid staff is available to work with each student individually to discuss the most effective plan possible for meeting college costs. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step toward receiving federal and state aid for college. Many colleges and scholarship programs also use the FAFSA to award financial aid. Therefore every college-bound student should complete it. The FAFSA is prepared annually by current and prospective college students to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. Student loans are designed to help students pay for post-secondary education. JBC participates only in the Federal Direct Student Loan program consisting of subsidized Stafford, unsubsidized Stafford, and parent (PLUS) loans. A full financial aid counseling session will assist students in determining their needs. All FAFSA filers are encouraged to use the IRS DRT (IRS Data Retrieval Tool). The IRS DRT tool allows students and parents to access the IRS tax return information needed to complete the FAFSA and transfer (import) the data directly into their FAFSA, saving lots of time.

As the undergraduate college of our country's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the AcademyAcademy for four years, graduating with a bachelor of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least five years in the Navy or Marine Corps. "To develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have the potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government." It would be impossible to predict what four years at the Naval Academy would be like for you, but we can describe our philosophy, curriculum, and daily life. Only after you have experienced the exhausting rigors of Plebe Summer, and after you have faced the responsibility of leading other midshipmen. After you have thrown your hat into the air at graduation, will you know what the Naval Academy experience is all about. Make no mistake: the four years at Annapolis are challenging, tightly structured, and designed to push you well beyond your perceived limits. The Navy pays 100% of the tuition, room, and board, medical and dental care costs of Naval Academy midshipmen. This means ALL students who attend the Naval Academy do so on a full scholarship in return for five years of active duty service upon graduation. Additionally, you also enjoy regular active-duty benefits, including access to military commissaries and exchanges, commercial transportation and lodging discounts, and the ability to fly space-available in military aircraft around the world. Midshipmen pay is $1,087.80 monthly, from which laundry, barber, cobbler, activities fees, yearbook, and other service charges are deducted. Actual cash pay is $100 per month in your first year, which increases each year after that. The Midshipmen Stipend Budget Book will approximate what sorts of expenses to expect each month. The Naval Academy's combined academic, military and physical development programs demand much effort, requiring you to spend more time on campus than the typical civilian college student. However, midshipmen enjoy Christmas and summer vacations (leave) plus shorter periods off (liberty). Free time to be away from the AcademyAcademy is based in large part on assigned military responsibilities, performance in academic and military endeavors, and class seniority. All midshipmen generally are granted leave during these periods: Thanksgiving leaves. End-of-semester leave. Mid-term leave during the spring semester. A short liberty period at the end of the spring semester and before Commissioning Week. Three weeks of summer vacation. During semesters of the academic year, off-campus privileges fall into two categories: town liberty and weekend liberty. Weekend liberty permits you to take an overnight away from the AcademyAcademy during the weekend, returning before the Sunday evening meal. You are not eligible for weekend liberty if you are assigned a military duty/watch (rotated responsibilities) or have serious difficulty in academics, conduct, or military performance. Town liberty curfews differ according to seniority. Generally, town and weekend liberty is authorized for midshipmen as follows: Plebes have town liberty on Saturdays (noon to midnight) and yard liberty within the Naval Academy complex on Sundays. Town liberty is granted for upper-class midshipmen following class weekends. A limited number of overnight weekends are granted to upper-class midshipmen based upon class. Restrictions apply to your use of motor vehicles as a midshipman. This is necessary because parking space is minimal at the AcademyAcademy and in Annapolis. Also, you have limited time off in the first years to make use of a private vehicle. These are the current rules: Third Class midshipmen and plebes are not permitted to operate motor vehicles except when authorized leave, such as during Christmas vacation. Second Class midshipmen may have a car but must maintain and operate it beyond Academy grounds. First Class midshipmen may drive a car in Annapolis and on the Naval Academy. No midshipman is allowed to maintain or operate a motorcycle. As a future naval officer, you are expected not to abuse alcohol and to shun illegal drugs entirely. Plebes, regardless of age, are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages. As an upper-class midshipman, you may drink if you are the minimum legal age for drinking (21 in Maryland). If you choose to drink alcohol, the Naval Academy will provide social occasions where responsible use of alcohol is permitted, such as at an official reception. The use of illegal drugs is strictly forbidden and results in expulsion from the AcademyAcademy. As a midshipman, you are subject to random drug testing through urinalysis, consistent with Navy-wide policies and procedures. Almost everything you need as a midshipman is available on the Academy grounds. There is a bookstore, uniform and tailor shop, cobbler shop, snack bar, barber/beauty shop, post office, and recreation rooms. We also provide the following services: The entire brigade eats at one time in a 55,000-square-foot dining area or wardroom, King Hall. Companies sit together, and food is served family-style during the week. Other meals are served buffet style. King Hall offers a wide variety of healthy choices to ensure midshipmen have the proper sustenance for their high metabolisms. All of the food for the 12,000 meals served daily is prepared by our food service staff in the kitchens adjacent to King Hall. Modern facilities for medical treatment are conveniently located at the Naval Academy. Besides routine medical treatment, orthopedics/sports medicine, podiatry, physical therapy, preventive medicine, and optometry services are available—specialists in gynecology, dermatology, neurology, cardiology, and urology schedule visits to the AcademyAcademy. Consultation and treatment, including inpatient care, in all primary medical and surgical specialties, are available at several military treatment facilities, such as Bethesda and Walter Reed Medical Hospitals. Most emergency conditions are handled at nearby Anne Arundel Medical Center, a fully accredited civilian facility in Annapolis. Comprehensive oral health care is provided by the Dental Clinic conveniently located in Bancroft Hall. The professional staff provides a full range of dental hygiene and general dentistry treatment. The specialties of Oral Surgery, Orthodontics (limited), Endodontics, Periodontics, and Prosthodontics are also available. If required, emergency dental treatment is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by an on-call USNA Dental Clinic Dentist. A wide variety of training, educational and clinical services are provided to promote and enhance the adjustment, well-being, and professional development of midshipmen, including confidential individual and group counseling. The Office of Legal Counsel is available to assist midshipmen with personal and military legal questions. Regular seminars offer information on savings, loans, insurance programs, investment opportunities, and tax returns. Individual financial counseling is available from a Navy Supply Corps officer who serves as midshipmen financial advisor. When the founders of the United States Naval Academy were looking for a suitable location, it was reported that then-Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft decided to move the naval school to "the healthy and secluded" location of Annapolis in order to rescue midshipmen from "the temptations and distractions that necessarily connect with a large and populous city." The Philadelphia Naval Asylum School was its predecessor. Four of the original seven faculty members came from Philadelphia. Other small naval schools in New York City, Norfolk, Va., and Boston, Mass. also existed in the early days of the United States. The United States Navy was born during the American Revolution when the need for a naval force to match the Royal Navy became clear. However, during the period immediately following the Revolution, the Continental Navy was demobilized in 1785 by an economy-minded Congress. The dormancy of American seapower lasted a decade barely. In 1794, President George Washington persuaded Congress to authorize a new naval force to combat the growing menace of piracy on the high seas. The first vessels of the new U.S. Navy were launched in 1797, among them were the United States, the Constellation, and the Constitution. In 1825, President John Quincy Adams urged Congress to establish a Naval Academy "for the formation of scientific and accomplished officers." His proposal, however, was not acted upon until 20 years later. View full university

Capitol Technology University was founded in Washington, DC, as the Capitol Radio Engineering Institute in 1927 by Eugene H. Rietzke. A Navy veteran and radio operator, Rietzke foresaw the need for an advanced school that could produce talented radio and electronics technicians. CREI began as a correspondence school, but its popularity led to the 1932 opening of a residence division allowing students to work for hands-on in laboratories. As radio technology improved, new training programs and courses were quickly added. Following World War II, CREI became one of the first three technical institutes accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. The institute entered a new era in the mid-1950s when it began awarding three-year AAS degrees. The school expanded its reach to new programs in applied engineering and electronics. To reflect this evolution, the institute changed its name to the Capital Institute of Technology in 1964. It awarded its first bachelor of science degrees in 1966 to four graduates of its electronics engineering technology program. Anticipating the need for more room, Capitol relocated in 1969 to a leased space in Kensington, Maryland. In 2010, Capitol launched its first doctoral program in college's history. The doctorate in information assurance was designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the burgeoning field of cybersecurity. Offered almost exclusively online, much like Capitol's master's degrees, Capitol has accepted doctoral students from across the globe. The university added its second doctoral program, in management and decision sciences, in 2014. Capitol currently offers three associate degrees, 12 bachelor's degrees, six master's degrees, and two doctorates. Capitol currently offers five doctoral programs, including a combination master of science and a Ph.D. program. These programs support the development of high-level critical thinking, leadership, and technical skills, and contribute innovative and practical doctoral research to student's chosen body of knowledge. Choose from eight master's degree programs to expand your knowledge and advance in your career. Programs are accelerated, with eight-week as well as 16-week courses, offered exclusively online. The courses combine the convenience of online learning with the stimulation of classroom experience. Capitol is the only independent college in Maryland dedicated to engineering, computer science, information technology, and business. These are four-year programs leading to a college diploma and a promising job in a high-technology field or business. We offer three associate degrees that can be completed in two years. You can enter the workforce with this degree or continue your education by applying the credits to a bachelor's degree. Choose the program that matches your interests. We offer more than 20 certificates, each approximately 12-credits per certificate. Earning one of these certificates can help you keep your skills current, advance your career, or change your workplace role. Today Capitol is the only independent university in Maryland specializing in providing relevant education in engineering, business, and related fields. It takes pride in its proven record of placing graduates in competitive careers with higher salaries than the industry average. While innovations spur new developments and industries, the foundations taught at Capitol Technology University – thinking critically, actively, and creatively – will remain. As it looks to the future, Capitol Technology University remains committed to providing students with quality education and the relevant experience to excel in a changing world.

Moreover, they come seeking the educational, professional, and cultural advantages of a college located in a busy metropolitan area within minutes from the City of Chicago. We, in turn, take our responsibility seriously to foster and support excellence in Catholic higher education, to keep a Calumet College of St. Joseph education accessible to a diverse population of students, and to offer personal attention and care to each member of the Calumet College of St. Joseph family. Calumet College of St. Joseph is a Catholic institution of higher learning dedicated to undergraduate and graduate students' academic, spiritual, and ethical development. Informed by its founding religious community's values, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood (C.PP.S.), the College promotes all people's inherent dignity, social justice, an ethic of service, student empowerment, opportunity, and lifelong learning. When you become a student at Calumet College of St. Joseph, you are not just choosing a college; you choose a way of life. It is a life dedicated to service and rooted in the Catholic tradition of social justice. This life is more than just a concept we talk about; it is a reality we try to live out every day. At CCSJ, you can start making a difference well before you graduate. The impact of CCSJ extends to the global community as well. Every spring, a faculty, staff, and students serve the poor of Guatemala by providing material assistance to some of the world's most needy. Our freshmen have given over 5,000 service-learning hours by volunteering within the community in the past two years. CCSJ is a Catholic college sponsored by the Cincinnati Province of the Precious Blood (C.PP.S.). CCSJ offers quality education in the Catholic tradition: It is open to students of all faiths. For over 50 years, Calumet College of St. Joseph has offered bachelor's, associate's degrees, and certificate programs. We serve a diverse student population that represents the Calumet area (Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois). In 2002, Calumet College of St. Joseph started its first graduate program, Master of Science in Law Enforcement Administration. Since that time, we have added three more graduate programs: Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Arts in Psychology, and a Master of Science in Management. Subsequently, the Law Enforcement Administration degree was revised and is now the Public Safety Administration. These four master's programs provide students with the skills, knowledge, and dispositions to confront their careers' challenges and affect their professions. In 1951 the Missionaries of the Precious Blood established an educational outpost in Northwest Indiana. They served a community like their patron St. Joseph: selfless, hardworking, and devoted to family. In church basements and empty storefronts, they educated the sons and daughters of mill workers and first-generation college students. Offering the Calumet Region's first bachelor's degree, the College changed lives. Providing access to education, the College grew. A move to Whiting accommodated expansion. In 1973, Amoco donated the building that currently serves as our 6-story "vertical campus." During these early years, the College's academic mission was defined: to serve the Calumet Region by offering quality education in the Catholic tradition. In keeping with the Catholic tradition, we place a high value on the dignity of every person. In addition to gaining knowledge and skill, our students learn to respect themselves and others. They learn to serve. Our graduates become alumni who make a daily difference in the community. They positively influence the fields of education, business, law enforcement, and the professions. They serve as artists and social workers, leaders of banking, and industry. This dedicated family of alumni is the College's legacy and future. With our roots deep in the Calumet Region, the College continues to grow. We carry on the tradition of serving a diverse student population, changing lives through education. Master's degrees and accelerated programs remove time and space barriers for our adult students. Innovative education programs assist professionals to transition to teaching. An athletic program, established in 1999, swelled the College's traditionally-aged academic population. Across the curriculum, our social justice emphasis fosters ethical behavior and civic engagement. We actively serve our neighbors with thousands of volunteer hours a year. We share our gifts with the less fortunate, providing books to the school-aged victims of Hurricane Katrina and adopting a Guatemalan village. Through academics and outreach, the College's mission extends far beyond the classroom. View full university
