Here's
how to apply…
Step 1) Using the Highlander Choice worksheet, determine the amount
of semester cost to be budgeted in monthly payments. Past due fees from
previous semesters, fines (damages, parking, Alcohol/Substance Abuse fees,
etc.), books, supplies and other personal expenses may not be included.
Annual Plan participants that include on-campus housing will notice that
the Spring Semester payments may be higher per month versus the Fall Semester
monthly payments. The reason for this is your room and/or tuition deposit
credit is applied towards the Fall Semester and not the Spring. If you
prefer equal payments, refunds may be generated to the student after all
installments are received for the Fall Semester. If this happens, then
the amount refunded will be billed in the Spring Semester.
The following are tips which may help in establishing a budget:
A) Financial Aid Recipients: Preferred
Lender Stafford Loans may be charged a 2% Guaranteed/Origination
fee and Preferred Lender PLUS Loans may be charged a 4% Guaranteed/Origination
fee. These fees are taken from the original loan amount so please
be sure to reduce your award amount by the precentage for more accurate
budget amount. If your lender is not located on the preferred lender
list you may be charged a higher fee. Please contact Financial Aid
at 540-831-5408 or finaid@radford.edu if you have questions concerning
these fees and award amounts.
B) Tuition, fees, campus housing
and meals may be contracted. Please see the Meal Plan Enrollment form
located in this online brochure concerning on and off-campus meal
plan enrollment, changes and questions.
Step 2) Complete
