Hanover College assists in meeting full tuition for admitted students who file the FAFSA by April 1 and have a Student Aid Index (SAI) from -$1,500 to $0, and have a weighted high school GPA of at least 3.25. The award is renewable each year upon filing the FAFSA, continuing to meet the qualifying SAI and meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress. For Indiana residents, students must also meet the state aid requirements annually (completion of the FAFSA by April 15 and all credit completion guidelines).
Created in 1972, the Federal Pell Grant is the largest grant program offered to undergraduate students by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). Pell Grants vary in amount based on a student’s expected family contribution, cost of attendance, status as a full-time or part-time student and attendance for a full academic year or less. Hanover College will receive the student’s Pell Grant and will make up any difference, so the eligible student pays no tuition.
While the Pell Grant is based solely on financial need, Hanover students may also be eligible to apply for other types of financial aid, including merit-based scholarships, legacy awards, competitive scholarships and student loans. More than 99 percent of Hanover students receive some form of financial aid.
