- Be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
- Be a high school graduate or have successfully completed the GED
examination or have satisfactory scores on the COMPASS assessment for
“ability to benefit” opportunities.
- Be enrolled as a regular degree or certificate-seeking student in an
eligible program of study.
- Meet satisfactory academic progress standards established by the
college.
- Demonstrate a level of financial need through completion of the Free
Application For Federal Student Aid. (FAFSA)
Financial Aid (the difference between the reasonable cost of attending college
and the reasonable expectation from family resources) is the amount which the
Financial Aid Office will endeavor to provide from one source or a combination
of sources.
The full cost of attendance cannot be met by financial aid programs. All
students are expected to contribute personal resources.
Financial need is determined on the basis of income and assets of both the
parents and student. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must
be completed. The college must receive a valid Institutional Student Information
Record (ISIR).
Adjusted gross income, untaxed income and benefits, number of family members and
number of college students are considered in determining the amount the family
is expected to contribute to the student's education. Also considered are
student and parent savings, bank accounts, certificates of deposit, trust funds,
money market funds, other investments, and net worth of business and/or
investment farms. Applicants may exclude the net value of a small business that
has 100 or fewer full-time or FTE employees and the business (or any part of it)
is owned and controlled by the family.
Financial aid is determined on the same basis as for dependent students, except
parent income and assets are not considered.

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides eligible undergraduate students with a
base for financial aid. Student eligibility is based on financial need
determined by the US Department of Education and reviewed by Congress annually.
Effective 7-1-2009 eligible students may receive year 'Round Pell, but no more
than 200% of their annual amount.
The Pell award is a grant and does not normally have to be repaid. Grants range
in size according to student eligibility and the student's level of enrollment.
Students who drop out, or quit attending classes, may have to repay a portion or
all of the Pell Grant received. Pell awards range from $0 to $5,550 for the
2010-11 academic year.
- Full-time Pell awards are based on 12 or more credit hours certified per
semester.
- Three-quarter Pell awards are based on 9-11 credit hours certified per
semester.
- One-half Pell awards are based on 6-8 credit hours certified per
semester.
- Less-than-half Pell awards are based on 3-5 credit hours per semester.
FSEOG provides financial assistance to undergraduate students with exceptional
financial need. FSEOG awards at GCCC range from $0 to $500 per year. FSEOG funds
are limited and priority is given to PELL recipients with lowest family
contribution figures. Students must qualify for Federal Pell Grant to receive
FSEOG and be enrolled at least half time.
Students who are eligible for Pell Grants could receive additional awards under
the Academic Competitiveness Grant Program if they have completed "a rigorous
secondary-school program of study". Students should contact the Financial Aid
Office for additional information. The funding for this grant expires at the end ot the 2010-11 award year.
This program provides part-time employment for many students with financial
need. FWS gives students a chance to earn income to help pay educational
expenses. Students work at local schools or in college facilities (i.e.,
library, or as assistants of administrative, faculty or maintenance personnel).
FWS hours range from five to fifteen hours per week. Availability of FWS is
determined year to year. Non-need based Institutional Work-Study is also
available.

The Stafford Loan Program provides students with long term, low-interest loans
for post-secondary educational expenses. Loan funds are available from
participating private lending institutions. Loan eligibility ranges from $3,500
for first year students to $4,500 for second year students. Stafford Loans are
available in both subsidized and unsubsidized versions depending on student
eligibility. Applications are available from participating lenders or the
Financial Aid Office. Students must complete Online Entrance Counseling before
loans will be certified.
Subsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who qualify based on the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The 2010-11 interest rate is 4.5%. The
federal government pays the interest on behalf of the student while the student
is enrolled at least half-time. The student begins repayment of the principal
and interest six months after leaving school, graduating, or dropping below
half-time enrollment.
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students regardless of family
income. The 2010-11 interest rate is 6.8%. However, students are responsible for
paying the interest on these loans. Payment of both principal and interest
begins six months after leaving school, graduating or dropping below half-time.
The PLUS Program allows parents to borrow money to pay for their dependent
child’s cost of attending a post-secondary school. The interest rate is fixed at
7.9%. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.

When a student's need has been established, it is the goal of Garden City
Community College to make funds available to help meet that need. Recipients are
selected according to established need and on a first-come first-served basis,
as funds are available. Students will receive award letters as soon as possible
after the college receives its official notification of program funding from the
federal government. Financial aid files are complete only when all requested
information and documentation has been received. Financial aid files are then
reviewed and awarded in chronological order of completion, and award letters are
printed in this same order. Files complete and accurate by June 1st will be
awarded prior to August 1st. Files complete and accurate by July 1st will be
awarded prior to the start of the Fall semester.
A Financial Aid Award Letter, stating components of the Financial Aid Package
will be mailed or given to the student for acceptance. This letter shows awards
offered to the student.
One signed copy of the award letter must be returned to the Financial Aid Office
at Garden City Community College. A form entitled Financial Aid Information
accompanies each notification. Once accepted, the funds in the amount stated
will be reserved for the student. Money cannot be released until the student's
enrollment has been certified by the Registrar.

In addition to aid available from the college, financial aid is available from a
variety of sources. Such agencies have their own criteria for eligibility
funding and limits.
Students should be aware that the various agencies and the college will
determine awards at different times and independently of each other.
Students must report all scholarships, grants, VA benefits, etc. to the
Financial Aid Office.
In cases where students receive more than one award, the aid package may need to
be adjusted in order to comply with federal regulations and individual program
guidelines. If this happens, students will be advised of their options. With the
variety of agencies controlling funds, the need to make adjustments is becoming
more common.
Students and their parents should understand that the acceptance of any award is
always subject to adjustment in order to comply with the federal regulations and
the guidelines of any program from which funds are received. Awards may be
prorated or eliminated based on the students actual enrollment status.
The amount of each student's federal award is based upon established need. A
student's financial aid package is awarded in the following order: (1) Federal
Pell Grant (2) external sources of scholarships and grants, (3) institutional
scholarships & grants, (4) Academic Competitiveness Grant (5) FSEOG, (6) Federal
Work-Study, and (7) Federal Stafford Loans.

Financial aid payments are disbursed a minimum of twice a year and normally once
each semester. Disbursements will be made after the student's enrollment has
been certified by the records office. Certification procedures begin subsequent
to the 20th day of classes, and disbursement will be subsequent to the 30th day.
(Not all classes certify at the same time). Students must plan accordingly.
Federal Stafford Loan proceeds are disbursed no sooner than other federal aid.
Work-Study checks are disbursed monthly.
Students may also elect direct deposit for their work study earnings.

U.S. Department of Education regulations require that Garden City Community
College establish satisfactory academic progress standards for federal financial
aid recipients. Students receiving Federal Pell Grants, Academic Competitiveness
Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work Study,
any Stafford Student Loans, and/or any other federal aid must meet the following
standards to ensure that only those students demonstrating satisfactory academic
progress towards the completion of their degree, or transfer program leading to
a bachelor’s degree, continue to receive federal financial aid.
The standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress measure a student’s performance
in three areas: completion rate, grade point average, and maximum time frame.
Students’ academic progress will be evaluated at the end of the fall and spring
semesters. Notification of failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress
will be mailed to the student’s permanent address.
It is the student’s responsibility to maintain satisfactory
academic progress.
Satisfactory progress will be measured by comparing the number of credit hours
completed with the number of credit hours attempted. Students must earn 67%
(two-thirds) of the credit hours attempted for the term. Calculations for full
time students will be based on 12 hours regardless of the total number of hours
of enrollment. A student failing to complete 67% (two-thirds) of attempted hours
will be placed on probation for the following semester of enrollment. A
subsequent semester of unsatisfactory progress will result in denial.
A student who fails to earn any credit for the hours attempted for a semester of
enrollment will be placed on denial without probation.
Attempted hours include any course the student remained enrolled in past the
refund period. Earned hours include any hours for which the student earned an A,
B, C, D, P, or CR. Failures (F’s), withdrawals (W’s), and incompletes (I’s or
IP’s) are considered as attempted hours, but not earned hours. Repeated and
remedial courses are included in the calculation of attempted and earned hours.
All hours attempted and/or completed are included in the calculation even if the
student was not receiving federal financial aid when enrolled in those courses.
All students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
A student failing to meet the cumulative GPA standard will be placed on
financial aid probation for the following semester of enrollment. A subsequent
semester of unsatisfactory progress will result in financial aid denial.
Students who meet the requirements for hours completed during their probationary
semester, but are unable to raise their cumulative GPA to at least 2.0 in one
semester must have a semester GPA of above a 2.0 to remain on financial aid
probation.
Credit hours: A student will be expected to complete his/her
course work in a maximum of 96 hours of enrollment. Students who do not complete
their course work in 96 hours will be placed on denial.
Degree completion: Students who have completed an Associate
Degree or beyond are no longer eligible for financial aid at GCCC. Exceptions
may be made on a case-by-case basis when additional hours are required to
establish, maintain, or renew professional certification or for other unusual
circumstances as per the discretion of the Director of Financial Aid. Second
Associate Degrees will not normally constitute a special circumstance.
A transfer student is any student who has previously attended another
institution. Official academic transcripts from all previously attended
post-secondary institutions must be on file at GCCC before an initial financial
aid award will be made. Transfer hours are included in the calculation of
attempted and earned hours and in the cumulative GPA. Transfer students may be
placed on probation for their first semester of attendance at Garden City
Community College.
At the conclusion of the Fall and the Spring semesters, all students receiving
federal aid will be evaluated to determine whether or not they are attaining
satisfactory academic progress. If the student is failing to meet satisfactory
academic progress, he/she will be placed on probation for the following semester
or the next semester that they enroll at GCCC. Probation status will not prevent
the student from receiving financial aid. This is not the same as being on
academic probation with the College. Any student failing to meet satisfactory
academic progress standards after one semester of probation will be placed on
financial aid denial.
Students not meeting satisfactory progress for two semesters will be denied
financial aid until they file a successful appeal or complete the needed credits
and grade point average to meet satisfactory academic progress policy
requirements.
Students who have attempted more than 96 hours will be denied financial aid
without probation. Students in this category may only continue receiving
financial aid for specific courses needed to complete their degree or transfer
to a program leading to a bachelor’s degree. Verification of required courses
must come from the student’s academic advisor.
Students who receive a grade of “Fail”, “Incomplete”, “IP-In Progress", and/or
“Withdrawn” for all hours attempted within one semester will be placed on denial
without probation. Denied students are not eligible for federal financial aid of
any kind at GCCC. This is not the same as being on academic dismissal from the
college.
A student who has been placed on financial aid probation may have their status
adjusted if a subsequent period of enrollment brings them into compliance with
satisfactory academic progress standards. The adjustment will be made when
satisfactory progress is calculated at the end of the fall or spring semester.
Students who do not appeal or whose appeal is denied must complete a minimum of
(12) twelve credit hours (half-time students or less-than half-time students
must complete a minimum of (6) credit hours) at their own expense and attain a
minimum 2.0 GPA. Students who meet this requirement will have their financial
aid reinstated upon written request. If their cumulative GPA is below the
required 2.0, the student will be reinstated on financial aid probation.
Students who have been placed on denial have the right to appeal if they have
extenuating circumstances that warrant an exception to the policy.
The appeal process is available to any student on financial aid denial. During
the appeal process, a student is allowed to enroll at GCCC if he or she meets
all requirements for admission or re-admission. However, the student is
responsible for paying all direct costs (tuition, fees, books, residence hall
charges) at the time of enrollment. All appeals must be made in writing and
submitted in compliance with the requirements shown below.
To make an appeal the student must take the following
steps:
- File an “Appeal of Financial Aid Denial” form (available at the
Financial Aid Office) by the first day of class for the semester of
enrollment for which they wish to be considered. The appeal should explain
specific mitigating circumstances which prevented the student from
maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress and should include supporting
statements and documentation from appropriate sources (i.e. physician,
academic advisor, employer). The appeal should also include steps taken to
insure that the circumstances will not be repeated. The Director of
Financial Aid will make a decision regarding the appeal and notify the
student of the decision within one-week following the deadline to appeal.
- If the appeal is denied by the Director of Financial Aid, the student
may continue the appeal process by filing a written appeal with the Dean of
Student Services within two school days of notification of denial of appeal
by the Director of Financial Aid. The Dean of Student Services will forward
the appeal to the Scholarship and Academic Review Committee.
- The Scholarship and Academic Review Committee will hold a hearing on the
appeal within one week of receipt of the referral. The committee will notify
the student of the hearing date, time and place. This notification will be
given at least two school days in advance and the student must be present at
such hearing. Student’s failure to appear at the hearing waives the
student’s right to appeal. The committee shall either (1) uphold the
decision or (2) recommend that the decision be modified.
- The student, the Dean, or the Director of Financial Aid may appeal the
decision of the Scholarship and Academic Review Committee. This request for
appeal must be made in writing to the College President within three school
days after the committee has made its decision. If the appeal is denied, the
student remains on Financial Aid Denial. If the appeal is granted, the
student’s eligibility for federal financial aid will be reinstated and the
student may be placed on Financial Aid Probation. The President of Garden
City Community College, or his/her appointee, shall have final jurisdiction
on academic progress appeals for financial aid recipients.
If the appeal is denied or the student does not submit an appeal within the
above deadline, the student must complete a minimum of twelve credit hours with
a minimum 2.0 GPA before the student will be allowed to request a reinstatement.
If the student received a denial notification for a semester in which they were
enrolled half-time or less, a minimum of six credit hours with a minimum 2.0 GPA
must be completed before the student may request a reinstatement.
- File a Financial Aid “Denial of Stafford Student Funds” Appeal form
(available at the Financial Aid Office) within two (2) weeks of written
notification of being denied a student loan at GCCC. The appeal should
explain extenuating circumstances including supporting information and
documentation from appropriate sources (i.e. credit worthiness, character
references, educational goals, academic standing) along with any other
pertinent information relevant to the appeal. The appeal should also include
steps taken to insure that defaulting on student loans will not be repeated
in the future. The Director of Financial Aid will make a decision regarding
the appeal and notify the student of the decision within one week following
the deadline to appeal.
- If the appeal is denied by the Director of Financial Aid, the student
may continue the appeal process by filing a written appeal with the Dean of
Student Services within two school days of notification of denial of appeal
by the Director of Financial Aid. The Dean of Student Services may render a
decision or refer the appeal to the Scholarship and Academic Review
Committee.
- If the appeal is referred to the Scholarship and Academic Review
Committee a hearing will be scheduled within one week. The committee will
notify the student of the hearing date, time and place. This notification
will be given at least two school days in advance and the student must be
present at such hearing. Student’s failure to appear at the hearing waives
the student’s right to appeal. The committee shall either (1) uphold the
decision or (2) recommend that the decision be modified.
- The student, the Dean, or the Director of Financial Aid may appeal the
decision of the Scholarship and Academic Review Committee. This request for
appeal must be made in writing to the College President within three school
days after the committee has made its decision.
If the appeal is granted the student’s eligibility for federal student loans at
GCCC will be reinstated. The President of Garden City Community College, or
designee, shall have final jurisdiction on appeals for financial aid recipients.
If the appeal is denied the student remains ineligible to borrow student loans
at Garden City Community College.

- The Business Office will notify the student, in writing, of the
committee's decision.
In addition to GCCC's refund policy, all students receiving Federal (Title IV)
Financial Aid are subject to a "Return of Title IV Funds" calculation. This
calculation is required for students who completely withdraw on or before the
60% point of the semester. The "Return of Title IV Funds" calculation involves
only the Federal Financial Aid portion of funds received by the student. It
determines the amount of federal funds the student and GCCC are entitled to
keep, based on how long the student was enrolled during the semester. It is
possible that GCCC and/or the student will owe federal funds back to the
Department of Education regardless of the outcome of the GCCC institutional
refund policy.
If the student and/or GCCC are required to repay Title IV Funds received, the
repayment must be made in the following order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Federal PLUS Loan
- Federal Pell Grant
- Academic Competitiveness Grant
- Federal SEOG
Students must clear all indebtedness to the college before diplomas or academic
transcripts can be issued.
Students who owe a repayment on grants or are in default on any student loan
will have a hold placed on their records at the college. No student will be
eligible for Financial Aid until any excess payment or default has been settled.

Scholarships are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis and are available
for fall and spring semesters only. Grade point averages or GED scores*,
financial need, and majors are taken into consideration. Scholarship criteria
vary, so students are matched as closely as possible with the scholarship
standards. Activity scholarships and Grant-In-Aid scholarships are awarded by
respective departments. Tuition and books scholarships are awarded only once
each semester. The Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference By-Laws control
the amount of aid a student can receive if he/she participates in athletics. As
a member of the Athletic Conference, GCCC adheres to these regulations.
Activity scholarships and Grant-In-Aid scholarships are awarded by respective
departments. Tuition and books scholarships are awarded only once each semester.
Students receiving tuition scholarships/grant-in-aid awards are limited to a
maximum of 16 hours per semester. The tuition awards will pay only the number of
hours that the student is enrolled in on the 20th day of classes (certification
date). The Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference By-Laws control the
amount of aid a student can receive if he/she participates in athletics. As a
member of the Athletic Conference, GCCC adheres to these regulations.
Many scholarships are renewable, provided the student meets the requirements
(grade point average and credit hour requirements). Students must
re-apply by March 1 of each year for scholarships (including renewals).
The goal for distributing scholarships is that awards should be made to as many
students as possible, versus over-awarding any particular student.
* Any scholarship that has a grade point average as part of the eligibility, the
GED score will convert to the following grade point average.
GED score of: Grade Point Average
550 - 649.99...................................3.00 - 3.49
