Managing Your Aid

Managing your aid is about more than just accepting an offer—it’s about understanding how your financial support works for you. At Cleary University, your journey begins in the Financial Aid Portal, where your scholarships, grants, and loan options come to life. As your enrollment shifts or life circumstances change, so can your aid. Whether it’s adjusting a Pell Grant, revisiting your loan amounts, or qualifying for additional support. Staying informed and proactive ensures you’re not just covering your costs, but planning wisely for your future.

 
 

Financial Aid Essentials

Learn how to review and accept your financial aid offer, understand your responsibilities, and stay eligible by meeting enrollment and academic progress requirements.

Students with unusual or special circumstances may qualify for adjustments to their dependency status or financial aid based on individual situations not fully reflected in the FAFSA.

Borrowing student loans responsibly means understanding your limits, exploring alternatives, and planning ahead to minimize debt and stay on track toward graduation.

To keep your financial aid, you must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards and understand how changes in enrollment or withdrawal can affect the aid you receive and may need to repay.

 

Receiving and using your financial aid depends on meeting key requirements, maintaining enrollment, and understanding how aid is applied to your bill, with options available if a balance remains.
