PNCA : admissions fa bfa how

Students who have been admitted to PNCA and successfully completed a FAFSA will receive a Financial Aid Award Letter in the mail. The Financial Aid Award Letter will indicate the types and amounts of financial aid for which the student is eligible during the academic year. Award letters are typically sent to eligible students at the end of March or beginning of April.

PNCA does not require a response to the offer of assistance unless the student wishes to decline any or all portions of the award package being offered.

Instructions for loan application will be included with the award letter.

How will my Financial Aid be dispersed?

Financial Aid will be disbursed to your student account by the Business Office at the end of the add/drop period each semester. Student loan funds are posted to the student accounts at the time they are received from the lender. Students attending both Fall and Spring semesters will receive equal disbursements of the Federal loans at the beginning of Fall and Spring semesters. After the add/drop period (the first two weeks of the semester), the Business Office will begin processing financial aid refund checks to those students whose financial aid exceeds their college charges.

Students who are receiving funds through a campus employment program, such as Federal Work Study or the PNCA Student Training and Employment Program (STEP), will receive paychecks each month as they earn their funds.

Please feel free to contact PNCA’s Financial Aid office at any time by phone, fax, email, or in person if you have any questions or need assistance.
