When the Clark College Financial Aid Office has determined your eligibility, you will be able to view your awards in the Portal.

The Award column gives you the type of aid you have been awarded (grants, work-study, loan, etc.) The Amount column shows you the amount you qualify for per quarter. The Award Status column tells you whether the award is active, an offer or an estimate.

Awards are based on full-time (12 credits or more) enrollment. You can still be eligible for aid if you enroll in fewer than 12 credits and your award will be prorated down to reflect your enrollment level at the time funds are disbursed.

Active grant and loan awards are available to pay tuition and fees for the quarter indicated. Any remaining balance is issued to you through the Clark Debit Card once the quarter starts.

Loan awards listed as "Estimates" (Est.) are not active awards. Loans are funds that must be repaid with interest and require a secondary application each academic year. More information about student loans and the application is available online at http://www.clark.edu/admissions_fin_aid/fin_aid/loans.php.

Work study awards listed as an "Offer" are not active awards, either. To participate in the work study employment program you must contact the Work Study Specialist in the Financial Aid Office to activate the award.
