Basic Educational Opportunity Grant ProgramThis program is a federal aid program designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to 12 Student Housing Service attend post-high school educational institutions. Basic Grants are intended to be the "floor" of a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet the educational needs. The amount of the student's Basic Grant is determined on the basis of his own and his family's financial resources. You, as a student, will be eligible for a grant if you meet these criteria: 1. You have established your financial need by means of the BEOG application. 2. You will be enrolled in an eligible program at an eligible college, university, vocational or technical school, and you will be attending at least on a one-half time basis. 3. You are a U.S. Citizen, or are in the United States for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a permanent resident or are a permanent resident of the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Award is a grant and, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Application forms are available at the Financial Aids Office. Law Enforcement Education ProgramPolice officers and others employed in branches of criminal justice may receive grants/loans to meet expenses of education. A pamphlet describing this program is available at the Financial Aids Office. Nursing Loan ProgramA federal program to assist students in nursing is available. Terms consist of borrowing the money for education expenses and paying it back after completing the course of study. No interest or payment is required as long as the student is enrolled in their program. Up to 85% of the loan is cancelled for five years of employment in a non-profit hospital after graduation. The above program is limited to the Registered Nurse Program. Financial aid awards from Federal programs are predicated upon a demonstrated need. For this purpose the application for the Basic Grant is used. The student should bring his Student Eligibility Report into the Financial Aid Office as soon as it is received. Applications for loans must be received at least two weeks before registration time in order to insure funds being available at time of registration. STUDENT HOUSING SERVICE On the Weber State College campus there are four residence halls available to students. Living in the residence halls provides an excellent opportunity for students to live, work, and study together. This becomes a vital part of the college experience. Each hall is under the supervision of a head resident couple who are well qualified and trained to work with students. The head residents are assisted by a resident assistant on each floor. Resident assistants are usually junior and senior students. A student government organization provides for a well balanced educational, cultural, and social program in each hall. Room assignments are made for a full quarter. For housing information, brochures, and applications, write the Director of Housing, Weber State College, Ogden, Utah 84408. Student Housing Policy Any regularly enrolled full-time Weber State College student may apply for permission to live in the residence halls. When applications for admission to residence halls exceed the available facilities, the Director of Housing shall decide which students will be admitted. Inasmuch as Weber State College is concerned about the welfare of students not living at home but living in off-campus facilities, the College may investigate such arrangements. 13 |
