Scholarships and Financial Aid

Paying for college is a challenge for most students and their families. Neumont University provides assistance through the Office of Financial Aid to help students formulate a plan to fund their education. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

Scholarships for new students are announced every year, in the fall.

Sources of funding for a Neumont education include:

• Neumont scholarships, including merit-based, need-based, resident-based and matching scholarships
• Federal grants: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Iraq & Afghanistan Service Grants (IASG), and Post-9/11 GI Bill grants, such as the Yellow Ribbon Program
• Federal loans: Federal Direct Subsidized Student Loans, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loans, and Federal Direct PLUS Loans
• Private lending options
• Veterans assistance programs
• Alternative financing programs

Since the primary responsibility for the education of a student rests with the student and his or her family, it is presumed that the student and the family will make the maximum effort to provide for the expenses of an undergraduate education. Financial aid, regardless of the source, should always be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, family financial support.
