The
Rowan College Office of Financial Aid offers the National Guard Free Tuition
Program to eligible students. The National Guard Tuition Waiver covers
only the per-credit cost of tuition at Rowan College; students are
personally responsible for the payment of all other fees associated with
the cost of registering at the College. (These fees include, but are
not limited to, an admissions application fee, lab fees associated with
each course, books and related materials.)
Process At-a-Glance
Qualifying students must adhere to the following terms:
Register only during the designated times for late registration.
Complete the FAFSA, and if selected, Verification.
Failure to do so will result in the student forfeiting their right to
utilize the National Guard Tuition Waiver and the student being held
personally responsible for the total cost of tuition and all fees.
Comply with all requests for additional documentation from the Office of Financial Aid.
Obtain
a Commander's Certificate. The signatures from the Commanding Officer
cannot be dated more than thirty (30) days prior to submitting the
Commander's Certificate.
Maintain satisfactory academic progress as set by Rowan College's policy.
Certify that they are not in default or overpayment status on any federal grants or loans.
Be accepted and matriculated into a degree-seeking program of study at the College.
If
for any reason the student is unable to attend the student must drop
their courses. The student is not to assume that they will be dropped
for non-payment should they stop attending.
If a student does not comply with all of the above requirements, they will be considered ineligible for the program.
Note:
Interested students must understand that they will not be refunded any
money if they paid for courses in advance. The National Guard Tuition
Waiver program will not refund the expenses that a student has paid out
of pocket for tuition or tuition related needs.
