Many students find federal loans to be the best way to pay for their college education. That is why we participate in the Federal Direct Loan Program, which consists of the Federal Direct Stafford (subsidized) Loan, the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, the Federal Direct PLUS Loan, and the Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Program. The U.S. Department of Education is the lender and, except for consolidation loans, delivers loan proceeds through the school. WU disburses the loans after loans have been processed and approved, and classes have begun. When it is time for repayment, students (or their parents) will send all loan payments to the federal loan servicer. Grants are financial awards from the federal and state governments that do not have to be paid back. Grants are awarded to students who meet the required set of qualifications. All U.S. citizens (and eligible non-citizens) must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each school year to determine eligibility for federal grants. Also, Warner University offers several other grants for eligible students. You can earn scholarships! Each year, billions of dollars are given through outside scholarships available to college students. A simple web search on Google or Yahoo! can allow students to find available scholarships and applications. The Warner Student Activities department is sort of like a hub for a pick-your-own-adventure….Just better! Start here to find where you can jump into cultural, educational, social, and recreational programs. You will grow through unique learning experiences, committee involvement, and volunteer opportunities. Founded as Warner Southern College in 1968 by Church of God pastors and laity, the institution became known as Warner University in 2008.
