Financial Aid
1985-86
Again we arc encouraging
students to investigate the
possibility of financial aid. If you
have not already talked with the
financial aid officer in Student
Services, you should do so.
Pell Grant money is still
available; it is not too late to apply!
Approximately 80% of all Wilkes
Community College students who
applied for the Pell Grant in 1984-
85 received assistance. In general
you are eligible for Federal Aid if
you meet the following
requirements:
1. You are enrolled at least half-
time
2. You are a U.S. citi/en or
eligible non-eiti/en
3. You show that yoi: have need
4. You are not in default on a
Guaranteed Student Loan.
National Defense Student
Loan, or PLUS Loan
5. You do not owe a refund on a
Pell Grant or on a SEOG
6. You have signed a statement
of registration compliance
Also some money is still
available for students wanting to
work through the College Work-
Study Program. You should see
the financial aid officer and be sure
you have the proper paper work
completed.
Another source of assistance is
the Guaranteed Student Loan.
This loan is awarded by the College
Foundation, Inc., and the interest
rate is 8''(. You do not have to
begin payment until six months
after you are out of school. When
you apply for this guaranteed loan
you make a commitment to paying
it back. Honoring this
commitment will strengthen these
programs which will allow others to
have the same type assistance that
was available to you.
Again, you are encouraged to
see the financial aid officer if you
have financial needs. Information
and assistance will be readily
available.
Need Money For
College?
North Carolinians may borrow
from $2,500 to S5.000 per

family income, other student
financial aid, and the school’s
estimated cost of attendance.
