Recognizing that many students who want to
attend Pacific Lutheran University would be unable to meet all expenses
of enrollment from personal or family sources, the university attempts
to provide financial assistance to all eligible students. Any student
approved for enrollment or currently enrolled may request financial
aid. Approximately 90 percent of the university's students receive help in the
form of gift assistance (that is, scholarships, artistic achievement
awards, or grants), low-interest deferred loans, or employment. In many
cases a financial aid award will be a combination of these forms of
assistance.
The offer of financial aid is based on the cost of
attendance, which is the university's estimate of how much it costs
students in various circumstances to attend PLU. A student's resources
are subtracted from the projected costs to determine financial need.
Several different budgets are used, taking into
account a student's tuition, the cost of books, supplies, housing,
food, transportation, and personal expenses.
Parents' contributions are computed for all
dependent students by the federal processor. It is based on a federally
established formula for determining parental ability to contribute
toward a student's education. The university also expects students (and
their spouses, if married) to contribute toward expenses.
All applicants are offered the maximum amount of aid for which they qualify, as funds permit.
If financial circumstances change, students may
contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss their situation with a
financial aid administrator at any time.
If students or their families have unusual
circumstances (such as loss of employment or major medical expenses)
that might affect the need for student financial aid, the Financial Aid
Office should be contacted. Unusual circumstances must be described in
writing, with the student's name, student ID number, and all pertinent
dollar amounts indicated.
Students who receive scholarships from sources
outside the university must inform the Financial Aid Office in writing
with the name of the scholarship and the yearly amount. In most cases,
PLU may be required by federal regulations to adjust a financial aid
package. Loans and work study will be adjusted first. Scholarships and
grants will be adjusted only as a last resort.
Financial assistance is available to all qualified students regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, national origin, age, mental or physical disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by law.
To ensure timely processing of your FAFSA, file online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Applications must be submitted by the following priority-funding dates for PLU to be considered for maximum funding.
Priority Date - March 1
PLU strongly recommends FAFSA completion by March 1 to meet priority-funding date.
Priority Date - March 1
PLU strongly recommends FAFSA completion by March 1 to meet priority-funding date.
Priority Date - April 1
PLU strongly recommends FAFSA completion by April 1 to meet priority-funding date.
An application for financial aid may be completed at any time, but failure to meet the priority date may result in a reduction of aid even though need is demonstrated. The Financial Aid Office will consider all applicants for any award for which they might be eligible. Aid awards are for one year and most are renewable provided reapplication is completed on time, financial need continues, and satisfactory academic progress is maintained. Aid is not automatically renewed each year.
Aid offers must be validated by returning the signed Offer of
Financial Aid. First-year and transfer students must also submit the
$200 advance payment required by the Office of Admission. This should
be done as soon as possible, but must be received by May 1. No advance
payment is required from continuing students. All students must
complete a satisfactory payment arrangement with the Student Services
Center. Applicants who do not return their acceptance of an award by
the reply date specified will have their awards cancelled. If an
applicant later decides to reapply, the application will be reviewed
with the group currently being processed.
Aid, with the exception of College Work Study and Washington State
Need Grants, is credited to the student's account when all
paperwork has been completed. Half of the award is disbursed each
semester. Parents and students are responsible for the charges in
excess of the award.
In some cases aid is awarded in excess of direct university charges
to help with living expenses. To expedite a refund students can request
remaining funds from their account by contacting the Student Services
Center.
Under federal regulations, adjustments to an award package must be made if a student receives additional awards of aid from sources external to the university. In every case, however, the Financial Aid Office will attempt to allow the student to keep as much of the award package as possible. By treating aid received from external sources in this way, additional awards from the university's resources can be made to other qualified students.
The basic responsibility for financing an education at PLU rests with students and their families. In addition to expected contributions from parents or guardians, students are expected to assist by contributing from their savings and summer earnings. Financial assistance from the university is therefore supplementary to the efforts of a student's family. It is provided for students who demonstrate need.
The policy of the university is to allow students to continue receiving financial assistance as long as they are in good standing. To do otherwise could cause a severe hardship on students who must devote their efforts to achieving satisfactory grades. However, no institutional grants will be awarded to students with cumulative grade point averages below 2.00. Moreover, federal regulations require that after four terms or more of attempted enrollment, students below 2.00 cumulative grade point average will have their federal financial aid revoked. Pacific Lutheran University's Schools of Business and Education require a minimum grade point average of 2.50.
To be given priority for most types of financial aid, an applicant must be enrolled as a full-time student. For Federal Financial Aid programs, a full-time student is defined as any person enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours or more per semester. Adjustments in an award may be made during the year if an aid recipient has not enrolled for a sufficient number of credit hours. However, each financial aid recipient must maintain satisfactory academic progress in the course of study he or she is pursuing in order to continue to receive financial assistance awarded by the Pacific Lutheran University Financial Aid Office.
The following requirements are expected of each financial aid recipient:
To make satisfactory progress toward a degree, an undergraduate student must complete 24 semester hours of credit each academic year. For this purpose, an academic year is defined as the fall semester and the spring semester. Financial aid is awarded for 34 hours to complete a bachelor's degree in four years.
For full-time undergraduate students receiving financial aid, the maximum number of credit hours that may be attempted is 192 and the maximum time frame for completing a baccalaureate degree is six years. Even if a student changes his or her major or academic program, only 192 credit hours may be taken qualifying for financial aid, and the maximum time frame of six years for receiving a degree is enforced. Some financial aid programs (e.g., most university gift aid programs) allow aid to be awarded a maximum of four academic years for entering first-year students, and two years for entering transfer students or a maximum of 153 hours.
For part-time undergraduate students, a minimum of 12 credit hours
must be completed each academic year and a degree must be achieved
within a maximum time frame of 10 years. (The maximum number of credits
allowable is 192.)
| Undergraduate Need-Based Credit Completion Requirements | ||
| Enrollment Status | Minimum per term | Minimum per year |
| Full-time | 12 |
24 |
| 3/4 time | 9 |
18 |
| 1/2 time | 6 |
12 |
| Less than 1/2 time* | All credits attempted | All credits attempted |
| * Less than 1/2 time enrollment applies to the Pell Grant Program only. Less than 1/2 time enrollment will cause a student's loan to be canceled and may jeopardize deferment status. | ||
Satisfactory progress is reviewed for financial aid purposes after the end of spring semester. For Washington State Need Grants, the Washington State Work Study Program, Educational Opportunity Grand (EOG), Washington Scholars, Wave, TRIO, and any other State of Washington funded program, satisfactory progress is reviewed at the end of each semester.
The following grades do not indicate successful completion of academic credit applicable toward a degree: incompletes (I), withdrawals (W), and grades of E and F.
Any courses in which grades are received are, however, included in the maximum number of credits that may be attempted (192) and are considered to be within the maximum time frame allowable for achieving a degree (six years).
All credits earned by examination, which are applicable toward a degree, will be included in the limitation on credits that can be attempted while eligible for financial aid.
Once a course has been completed successfully, the credit hours earned are counted toward the maximum number of hours that can be taken under financial aid eligibility. If a course is successfully completed more than once, it is counted only once toward a student's degree requirements and toward the maximum number of hours that can be taken under financial aid eligibility.
The university's curriculum includes very few noncredit courses or courses whose credit hours are not applicable to a degree. If any such courses are taken by financial aid recipients, the hours will be included in the limitation on credits that may be attempted and will be considered within the time frame allowable for achieving a degree.
In the event that a student fails to meet the criteria for satisfactory progress during a particular semester, he or she will be placed on financial aid probation. Failure to regain satisfactory financial aid academic status will result in the cancellation of financial aid.
Once unsatisfactory financial aid progress has been determined, students receive official notification. Students who have had their aid denied due to unsatisfactory progress may apply for reinstatement by submitting a letter of petition to the Financial Aid Office.
Students whose financial aid has been denied may petition for reinstatement of their aid in one of two ways:
Summer sessions may also be used as terms during which a student on financial aid probation may regain satisfactory academic status. However, students enrolling in summer sessions for this purpose must use their own financial resources and are ineligible for financial aid through the university.
Students are usually eligible for several different types of aid
from various sources; therefore we offer a financial aid "package" of
funds. Funds you are offered will depend on a number of factors,
including your status as
an undergraduate or graduate student, the funds available at the time
you applied, and the amount of financial need. An expected family
contribution is derived using a federal formula applied to your FAFSA
information. As you review your offer, refer to the following
explanation of most commonly awarded funds.
Scholarships and grants are “gift assistance,” funds that do not have to be repaid. A student’s package includes gift assistance whenever guidelines and funding levels permit. Where applicable, the combination of Tuition Remission and/or other institutionally funded resources (Clergy Dependent, Alumni Dependent, Regents, etc.) cannot be awarded in excess of the PLU tuition cost.
PLU grants or scholarships are awarded for fall and spring semesters only. To receive this assistance you must fulfill all of the following criteria:
- Be admitted to PLU as a matriculating student.
- Enrolled in a minimum of twelve non-repeated credit hours each term.
- Have financial need, unless otherwise noted.
- Be an undergraduate student, unless otherwise noted.
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined in the catalog.
*Institutionally controlled
scholarships and grants are provided by the university and/or donors to
the university. If it is determined that all or a portion of your award
is provided by a designated fund or donor, an updated offer of
financial aid will be sent to you, renaming your scholarship/grant
award with this funding source.
- Freshman entering and transferring 0-29.99 credits will receive four years or eight semesters of PLU gift.
- Sophomores transferring 30-59.99 credits will receive three years or six semesters of PLU gift.
- Juniors/Seniors transferring 60.00+ credits will receive two years or four semesters of PLU gift.
The
maximum PLU gift amount established for each student at the time of
admission may be met by one or more of the following PLU funding
sources:
Regent’s Scholarship
President’s Scholarship
PLU Academic Scholarship
Confirmand Award
Travel Grant
Artistic Achievement Award
Faculty Merit Award
PLU Grant
National Merit Scholarship
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship
PLU Achievers Matching Grant
Alumni Dependent Grant
Clergy Dependent Grant
This gift amount is guaranteed for up to three additional years of
continuous undergraduate enrollment, provided the student maintains
Satisfactory Academic Standing. If a student transfers credit hours
from another school, then the number of terms that gift can be received
will be for less than three years.
Examples:
1. Suzie Smith - $12,000 PLU Gift Award
Aid Package
- $ 500 Alumni Dependent Grant
- $ 1,000 Clergy Dependent Grant
- $ 3,000 Artistic Achievement Award
- $ 5,500 PLU Academic Scholarship
- $ 2,000 National Merit Scholarship
- $12,000 Total PLU Gift Amount
2. Sam Jones - $5,000 PLU Gift Amount
Aid Package
- $ 1,000 Clergy Dependent Grant
- $ 2,000 PLU Achievers Matching Grant
- $ 2,000 PLU Academic Scholarship
- $ 5,000 Total PLU Gift Amount
All or a portion of the above funds may be renamed at any time during your enrollment to honor a major contributor of scholarship funds at PLU.
Designated
(named) scholarships will be awarded throughout the academic year to
students who fit specific, donor-designated criteria. Donors, who have
contributed to the PLU endowment fund have created these named
scholarships. In most cases, a named endowed scholarship will replace a
student’s existing PLU need-based and/or merit gift award. Because it
is through the generosity of these donors that PLU can offer the level
of gift assistance awarded to our students, we encourage all recipients
to write letters of appreciation to these donors.

One or more
of the Federal Family Education Loans may be listed on your offer. This
means you may accept or reject these loans separately. Federal Stafford
or PLUS Loans are obtained from a lender via an electronic application
certified by the Financial Aid Office. After we have certified your
application, first time borrowers (and borrowers switching lenders)
must complete and sign an application/promissory note. To do so, go
straight to your lender's electronic application/promissory note by
clicking on their web-link from our preferred lender list found on our
web site. (Please note: If you previously borrowed a FFELP loan
at PLU within the past three academic years, you will not need to sign
another promissory note.) Contact your lender or our Student Services
Center if you wish to complete a paper application. Loan funds are
electronically transmitted to the university by all lenders found on
our Lender List.
We strongly recommend you choose a lender from this list to:
- Avoid the 2% loan origination fee that will reduce the funds your receive (depending on lender)
- Avoid the delay in processing your application due to postal delivery between you and your lender.
- Avoid standing in line in the Student Services Center to endorse (sign) your paper check.
- Receive borrower benefits that could reduce the cost of your student loan.
If you are borrowing the FFELP for the first time, you must
complete an entrance counseling session before loan funds can be
released to your account. Not completing a session will result in the
loan funds being returned to your lender, causing a possible delay in
settling your account and possibly incurring additional finance
charges. The entrance interview can be completed at www.mapping-your-future.org.
- Eligibility: At least half-time (6 credit hours) undergraduate or (4 credit hours) graduate students.
- Amount: Up to $2,625 per year for freshmen; $3,500 for sophomores; $5,500 for juniors and seniors; and $8,500 for graduate students.
- Repayment: A variable interest rate which changes annually and cannot exceed 8.25% and monthly principal and interest payments begin six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or drops to less than half-time attendance.
- Comments or Conditions: The federal government pays the interest on your loan on your behalf until you enter repayment. You are responsible for selecting a lender from the Lender List. You have the option to select a lender not on the list. However, be aware that doing so will usually result in a more expensive loan, a delay in receipt of your loan funds, require you to endorse a paper check in the Student Services Center, and your loan is unlikely to have the financial repayment incentives available through our lenders.
- Eligibility: Student attending at least half-time (6 credit hours) or a graduate student attending at least half-time (4 credit hours) who does not qualify for all or part of the maximum Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan.
- Amount: Up to $2,625 per year for freshmen; $3,500 for sophomores; $5,500 for juniors and seniors; and $10,000 for graduate students.
- Repayment: A variable interest rate which changes annually and cannot exceed 8.25% and monthly principal payments begin six months after the you graduate, withdraw, or drop below half-time attendance. Unsubsidized means you are responsible for the accruing interest on the loan, which begins on the date the loan is disbursed; however, interest payments may be deferred until you enter repayment.
- Comments or Conditions: Financial need is not a requirement. You are responsible for selecting a lender from the Lender List. You have the option to select a lender not on the list. However, be aware that doing so will usually result in a more expensive loan, a delay in receipt of your loan funds, require you to endorse a paper check in the Student Services Center, and your loan is unlikely to have the financial repayment incentives available through our lenders.
- Eligibility: Parents of dependent student.
- Amount: Parents may borrow up to the full cost of their student’s college education minus the amount of any financial aid the student is receiving.
- Repayment: A variable interest rate which changes annually and cannot exceed 9.00% and monthly principal and interest payments begin within 60 days after the final disbursement of funds. (Interest begins accruing from the date the funds are first disbursed.)
- Comments or Conditions: Financial need is not a requirement of this loan program. However, parents must have an acceptable credit record to qualify. Either (or both) parents may borrow this loan for the student. The parent is responsible for selecting a lender from the Lender List. A separate Loan Application & Promissory Note will then be mailed to the parent. Both student and parent must sign the application and then mail it back in the return envelope provided. To request a PLUS loan, complete a PLUS Loan Request Form, available from the Student Services Center or the Financial Aid Office. You may also go directly to your chosen lender's web to apply for a PLUS pre-approval and/or application. We will be notified of your on-line pre-approval application by your lender.
- Eligibility: Graduate students attending at least half time (four credit hours). To be eligible, student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and accept the maximum Federal Stafford Loan before borrowing a Grad Plus loan.
- Amount: Cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received by the student.
- Repayment: Repayment on the loan principal begins within 60 days of the loan's final disbursement for the year.
- Comments or Conditions: This loan has an 8.5% fixed interest rate set by the federal government. However, lenders have the option to offer a lower interest rate and many do. You are responsible for selecting a lender from the lender list (list is available online at http://www.plu.edu ). You have the option to select a lender not on the list. However, be aware that doing so may delay your receipt of your loan funds, may require you to endorse a paper check in the Student Services Center, and your loan may not offer interest rate discounts or repayment incentives which lowers the cost of the loan available through the lenders on our lender list.
- Eligibility: Independent student or dependent student whose parents are denied a PLUS loan.
- Amount: Up to $4,000/year for freshmen and sophomores and $5,000 for juniors and seniors.
- Repayment: A variable interest rate which changes annually and cannot exceed 8.25% and monthly principal payments begin six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or drops to less than half-time attendance. Unsubsidized means you are responsible for the accruing interest on the loan, which begins on the date the funds are first disbursed; however, interest payments may deferred until you enter repayment.
- Comments or Conditions: Financial need is not a requirement. You are responsible for selecting a lender from the Lender List. You have the option to select a lender not on the list. However, be aware that doing so will usually result in a more expensive loan, a delay in receipt of your loan funds, require you to endorse a paper check in the Student Services Center, and your loan may not have the financial incentives available with our lenders while you are in repayment.
- Eligibility: All Students meeting lender specific credit worthy criteria
- Amount: Varies
- Comments and Conditions: Various Alternative Loans are provided for all students, including those not qualifying for Title IV aid. Please see the PLU Financial Aid Web Site http://www.plu.edu/faid/apply/downloadable-documents/.
The primary goals of Work-Study are to
help you earn part of your financial aid through employment that will
prepare you for a career when you graduate. Unlike all other aid,
earnings will not be deposited to your account. Earnings are paid by
check just like any part time job.
Your Offer of Financial
Aid will list your Work-Study eligibility. If you have been offered
Federal Work-Study, your employment will generally be on-campus.
Eligible upper division students (juniors and seniors) will often be
offered State Work-Study, which attempts to place you in a position off
campus, related to your career or academic area of interest.
Eligibility
for this program allows you to work at any on campus job. Campus jobs
will normally pay between $7.63 and $9.00 per hour. They are
convenient, do not require transportation and usually offer flexible
schedules. Paychecks are available for pick up at the Business Office
(see published pay dates) around the 25th of each month. You may not
exceed 20 hours per week when classes are in session and 40 hours
during vacations and breaks. The average PLU student works 13 hours per
week. Before you can work on campus, you must complete Federal I-9 and
W-4 forms. A Passport, Picture ID, and an original Social Security Card
or Birth Certificate (original or certified copies) are the documents
presented most often by students to complete the I-9. A complete list
of acceptable documents is listed on the back of the I-9 form. These
forms are to be completed in the Student Employment Office. These forms
only need to be completed one time while employed as a student employee
at PLU.
State Work-Study is a complementary program to your academic or career interests.
Before
you talk to a State Work Study employer, you must obtain a referral
form from the Student Employment Office, Student Services Center or the
Financial Aid Office.
State Work-Study is used to
employ PLU students with for-profit and non-profit employers in the
local community. Job referrals are made with the intent to give you an
opportunity to work in a position that is within or related to your
career or academic interest. The program offers to reimburse an
employer up to 100% of your earnings if they create a position that has
academic relevance or career interest for you. Because of the
reimbursement and the paraprofessional nature of the positions,
salaries are normally higher than campus jobs. Most jobs will pay
between $8.50 and $12.00 per hour. Students can work a maximum of 19
hours per week when classes are in session and 40 hours per week during
vacation and breaks.
Remember:
- You must be enrolled in at least six credits and maintain satisfactory academic progress to work
- Work-Study eligibility is neither a guarantee nor an assignment of a job. The Student Employment Office does not provide job placement services.
- You may not begin working until all the appropriate employment forms are processed.
