Adult Accelerated Degree Student Financial Aid Opportunities
Edgewood College understands that there are concerns about financing your education. We are available to guide you through the process.
Financial aid is available for our returning adult students. The following awards are based on the results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Full-time enrollment may not be required for eligibility.
Federal Pell Grant: A federal need-based grant awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional need.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG): A federally funded need-based grant awarded to undergraduate students, with priority given to Pell Grant recipients.
Wisconsin Tuition Grant (WTG): A need-based grant for undergraduate Wisconsin residents enrolled at least half time.
Federal Loans
Federal Stafford Loans will be awarded on a semester basis and cannot be disbursed
until the student is enrolled at least 6 credit hours for the semester in which
the loan(s) are scheduled to be disbursed. Repayment is required on the following
programs:
Federal Stafford Loan: A federally regulated loan at a fixed
interest rate (currently 6.8%). Origination and disbursement fees up to 3% may be
deducted. This loan comes in two forms: subsidized and unsubsidized.
Subsidized – This is awarded based on financial need. The federal
government “subsidizes” the interest while you attend school.
Unsubsidized – This is available to students without financial need.
You’ll be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full.
The maximum (combined Subsidized and Unsubsidized) annual limits for these loans are as follows:
| Grade Level | Dependent | Independent |
| Freshman | $3,500 | $7,500 |
