Campus Based Aid:
Campus-Based Aid are federal programs administered directly by the financial aid office at the participating universities
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal Perkins Loan programs are called campus-based programs because they’re administered directly by the financial aid office at each participating school. Not all schools participate in all three programs. Check with your school’s financial aid office to find out which programs they participate in.
How much aid you receive from each of these programs depends on your financial need, on the amount of other aid you receive, and on the availability of funds at your college or career school. Unlike the Federal Pell Grant Program, which provides funds to every eligible student, the campus-based programs provide a certain amount of funds for each participating school to administer each year.
Each school sets its own deadlines for campus-based funds, and those deadlines are usually earlier than the Department of Education’s deadline for filing a FAFSA.
Other Sources for Student Aid:
- Programs under the Department of Veterans Affairs: aid is available for veterans, reservists, National Guard persons, widows, orphans
- Programs for Disabled American Veterans: scholarships are awarded under the Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program

The Montgomery GI Bill and the Army’s College Fund offer financial assistance to pay for future education expenses.
