Institutional Aid: In addition to federal and state programs, Humphreys University offers institutional aid, including scholarships and tuition waiver programs.
Institutional aid must be coordinated with all other sources of financial assistance. Awards may be adjusted to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and institutional policies, and to remain within the student’s established Cost of Attendance (COA).
Continued eligibility for institutional aid requires that students maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Institutional aid programs are subject to a higher SAP standard than those required for federal and state financial aid eligibility.
