Financial Aid Available
Federal Direct Loan Programs
Federal Direct Loans may help eligible students and families cover costs beyond Webb’s full-tuition scholarship.
Subsidized loans are awarded based on financial need. The federal government pays the interest while the student is enrolled and during certain authorized deferment periods.
Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need. Interest begins accruing when the loan is disbursed and continues until the loan is repaid.
Families may also consider Federal Parent PLUS Loans or alternative loans. Webb recommends reviewing federal loan options first before considering private alternatives.
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is need-based aid from the federal government that does not need to be repaid.
Eligibility is determined through the FAFSA. The amount a student may receive depends on financial need, federal regulations, and lifetime eligibility limits. The federal government tracks each student’s lifetime eligibility used and reports it to the Office of Financial Aid.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, or FSEOG, is awarded to students with significant financial need.
To be considered, students must complete the FAFSA so Webb can determine eligibility. FSEOG funds do not need to be repaid except under certain circumstances. Awards may range from $100 to $4,000 per year, depending on financial need and available funding.
New York State Tuition Assistance Program
The New York State Tuition Assistance Program, or TAP, is a tuition-only award for eligible New York State residents attending a New York State approved college full time.
Students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, meet state academic progress requirements, and submit proof of U.S. high school completion. TAP awards range from $100 to $5,165 per year and are limited to eight undergraduate semesters.
Webb Scholarships
In addition to the full-tuition scholarship, Webb offers internal scholarships that may help offset living expenses and other costs.
Students are automatically considered for need-based scholarships after filing the FAFSA. Scholarship awards are reviewed annually and may change from year to year. Some merit-based or non-need-based scholarships may require additional information or an application after notification from Admissions or the Scholarship Committee.
Additional Resources
Planning for college costs can feel complex, but you do not have to navigate it alone. These resources can help students and families understand financial aid, loans, scholarships, and federal requirements.
