Modernage gives all students equal
opportunity for financial aid, regardless of race, color, religion,
age, national or ethnic origin or sex.
While Modernage subscribes to the
philosophy that primary responsibility of meeting costs of education
rests with the family, it also realizes that there are families who
do not have available means to send their children to a private
institution. In recognition of this fact, Modernage uses every
possible means to bridge the gap between family resources and
educational expenditures.
Financial Aid, consisting of
scholarships, grants, loans and work opportunities, is offered to
students who cannot provide the full cost of education through their
own and their families’ reasonable efforts. The primary purpose of
Financial Aid is to provide assistance to students who, without such
aid, would be unable to receive education.
The family is expected to make a
maximum effort to assist the student with educational expenses and
any financial aid should be viewed only as supplementary to the
efforts of the family.
Financial Aid at Modernage is offered
on the basis of financial need. Some of the factors that are taken
into consideration in determining the family’s financial strength
are: current income, number of dependents, other educational
expenses, debt, retirement needs and unusual circumstances.
The students must reapply for aid
each year. A student may assume that Modernage will provide
comparable financial assistance in subsequent years. However, as
family circumstances and/or availability of institutional funding
change, so may the amount or distribution of financial aid.
There are three types of Financial
Aid:
1.
Scholarships & Grants
2.
Loans
3.
Work Opportunities
Item 1 consists of aid that does not
have to be repaid. Item 2 is money which must be repaid. Item 3 is a
part time employment opportunity which covers a portion of
educational costs.
In order to receive/retain the
financial aid a student must have at least average standing in
academics.
