When choosing a college, the cost of tuition is an important consideration. Before ruling out an expensive school, search for scholarships that could help lower the cost and perhaps eliminate the need for federal and private student loans.
Academic scholarships in San Diego cover a range of educational expenses throughout the academic year. The scholarship opportunities at ICOHS College make it a wise choice for students.
External scholarships, loans, and payment plans are just a few options for funding an ICOHS College education. Any private (outside) funding you received must be taken into account when your eligibility is determined for need-based financial aid. If you have been offered funding from a source outside the university, you must submit copies of the notification letter to ICOHS College, Office of Financial Aid. Students can contact our office to discuss how outside entitlement awards might impact their financial aid package.
DISCLAIMERS: Please be aware that each scholarship may have additional terms, conditions, and requirements. Students granted one of these scholarships will be given particular renewal criteria for that award. ICOHS College has no affiliation with 3rd party scholarships and cannot guarantee they will award you with financial assistance. 3rd party scholarships details may change without notice.
Some students believe scholarships are only for students in desperate need of financial assistance. This is not true. In fact, receiving an academic scholarship will benefit any student for several years after they receive it. Some of the most significant benefits are:
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of prior academic achievements, such as strong grades and test scores. Other factors might be leadership, participation in extracurricular activities, geographic and ethnic background, intended major, and career objectives. Pay close attention to each scholarship’s eligibility requirements and selection criteria.
You must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA to qualify for need-based scholarships at ICOHS. The government uses this form to determine an estimated family contribution (EFC). To calculate your financial need, the financial aid office subtracts your EFC from your cost of attendance.
Aid from outside sources necessitates adjusting your aid because ICOHS provides aid (including loans) that covers 100% of your attendance costs. We first replace a student’s self-help (loan and work awards) to ensure that outside awards benefit the student as much as possible. Grants are then reduced if the total amount of external assistance received exceeds the total amount of loans and work included in your package.
If you wait to report this information to the Financial Aid and Scholarships office, you risk receiving financial aid for which you are not eligible, which will require that you pay for any overpayments already made.
Watch out for scholarship fraud! Avoid a scholarship organization if you have any reservations about it. A scholarship should never be paid for. If you receive unsolicited offers to help you find scholarships that appear too good to be true, they most likely are.
