Salt Lake Community College allows students to receive FAFSA if they are registered for 9 credit hours each semester.
Other schools usually require students to register for 12 credit hours each semester.
What happens if I drop out?
You must repay the grant you received. If you don't repay the grant, you are not eligible for federal financial aid.
I'm not going to school out of high school, why should I apply?
If you apply during your senior year of high school, we have people to help you with the process. You need to reapply every year, and reapplying is easy.
If you are going on a mission, you can reapply anytime after October 1 of the year BEFORE you will start school. It's easy to reapply while you are on your mission, must harder to apply when you are on your mission.
If you want to take a break and don't decide to go to school, no problem. But if you change your mind in the future, reapplying is easy.
