Understanding your Financial Aid
Welcome to Cameron University!!!
You may visit your Aggie Access under the My Info tab to review and accept your financial aid package.
Students are highly encouraged to review, print, and save this page and all informational links provided to gain a clear understanding of financial aid eligibility requirements.
Your financial aid package is based on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), financial need, availability of funds and full time enrollment status. You may be eligible for one type of aid or a combination of grants, loans, work-study and scholarship assistance. Revisions to this offer can occur during the award year if there are regulatory changes to federal and state aid programs, changes in your enrollment status, if you receive additional educational funding or do not maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Please review all information carefully and keep it for future reference.
For questions regarding your financial aid, contact our office at (580) 581-2293 or email financialaid@cameron.edu.
Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements
You may be eligible for certain financial aid at Cameron University if you meet the following requirements:
- You are fully admitted to a degree-seeking program.
- You are making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) towards a designated degree.
- You are not in default on any Federal Student loans.
- You do not owe an overpayment on a Pell, SEOG or TEACH Grant.
- If you have completed a bachelor’s degree, you are not eligible for PELL, SEOG, OTAG or OK Promise grant programs.
Please note: Classes required for state licensure are not eligible for federal student aid.
Financial Need
A student's financial need is determined based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) provided by the FAFSA and Cost of Attendance (COA). Many financial aid awards are "need-based" (ex. Subsidized Loans, Federal Work Study), therefore, the amounts must be limited to the total Financial Need. Awards that are not "need-based" and are eligible to be awarded beyond financial need may be awarded up to the remaining COA after financial need is met (ex. PLUS loans may be offered for the amount remaining after all other aid is subtracted from the COA).
COA - EFC = Financial Need
