MEETING THE NEED
A university education is a significant investment, but Southeastern's program of scholarships and financial aid can make it affordable. Southeastern University offers a variety of financial aid resources to help students cover educational expenses, including federal and state grants, loan and work-study programs, academic, minority, need-based, and performance scholarships. Ninety-six percent of Southeastern students receive financial aid, and the average financial aid package for the 2007-2008 school year was $12,195.

Southeastern's location in central Florida provides students with many opportunities for part-time employment. The returns from such work, together with savings from summer employment and financial aid, enable many Southeastern students to work their way through college.

FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
In order to be considered for any financial assistance, all Southeastern students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Southeastern University Student Information Sheet (SIS). You may complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or visit www.pin.ed.gov to request your Federal Student Aid PIN. The Southeastern Student Information Sheet may be printed by clicking onto the forms link. Please return the completed forms to the financial aid department for processing. Southeastern's FAFSA code is #001521.

Other eligibility requirements for federal grants, loans and work-study are as follows:

  • have a high school diploma, GED (General Equivalency Diploma), or pass an independently administered test approved by the U.S. Department of Education
  • be enrolled in an eligible academic program
  • be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen
  • register with the U.S. Selective Service if you're a male 18 to 25 years old
  • maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by your college/university
