FAQ - FA Consortium Agreement

Sometimes situations arise that cause students to be enrolled at more than one institution at a time. However, you cannot receive financial aid from both institutions. The school you plan to receive a certificate/degree from should be the school you receive financial aid from and is considered the 'home' institution.

FAQ - FA How Much

According to federal regulations, Student Aid Index (SAI) is subtracted from the allowable Cost of Attendance (COA) to determine financial need. This determines how much need-based aid you may qualify for. To determine how much non-need based aid you can receive, Manhattan Tech takes your COA and subtracts any financial aid you've already been awarded. It is the policy of the Manhattan Tech Office of Financial Aid to award students their maximum eligibility in all available fund categories.

FAQ - FA Credit Hours

Students must be enrolled at least half-time, 6 credits to be eligible for Direct Loans. Financial aid can vary depending on enrollment status. At Manhattan Tech 6 - 8 credits is ½ time, 9 - 11 credits is ¾ time and 12 or more is full-time.
