Am I eligible for financial assistance?
Federal and state aid is determined by completing the FAFSA annually. Tuition assistance and veterans’ benefits are determined based on other qualifications.
Eligibility is determined based on the number of credit hours in which a student enrolls. Students must be enrolled in at least 6 semester hours of credit in undergraduate courses to receive most financial assistance. Students are eligible for Pell grants, tuition assistance, and veterans’ benefits when registered at least half-time for the semester. Three semester hours of credit in a semester is less-than-half-time for the undergraduate program. Six semester hours of credit in a semester is half-time for an undergraduate program. Twelve semester hours of credit in a semester is full-time for an undergraduate program.
Students may combine registrations in uiuFlex Semester, uiuLive courses, and online courses to meet the half-time status required for financial assistance.
