FINANCIAL AID Students beginning the process of selecting a college find that the cost of an education is likely to be a major commitment. SCI-Arc offers assistance to students with these educational expenses through a variety of financial aid programs. Financial aid includes grants, scholarships, loans, and part-time work-study employment. SCI-Arc offers a combination of these types of aid from various sources in an award package. Financial aid is awarded based on financial need and/or academic merit. Continued financial aid eligibility is based on financial need and academic progress. Eligibility for financial aid is established through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). SCI-Arc’s Title IV Code is: 014073. An application for financial aid does not affect the student’s chances of admission.
