Federal Student Aid Options
After students have successfully completed the admission process, if desired, an appointment to meet with a Financial Aid Officer will be arranged. During the financial aid appointment, appropriate documents are completed to determine eligibility. Once eligibility has been determined students will receive an Estimated Award Letter and at this time will be given the opportunity to either accept or decline the award letter.
International Students Tuition Scholarship Program
The International Students Tuition Scholarship is open to new international student planning on full time enrollment at the University of the Potomac. The scholarship can cover up to 35% of the normal international student tuition cost. The scholarship is available to first time undergraduate and graduate students, and can be renewed provided the student maintains an acceptable academic record. This scholarship only covers tuition charges. The student is required to pay all entry and semester fees. The scholarship can be renewed on an annual basis, based on the student meeting the University’s academic criteria. The scholarship can also be used for year round study.
Multiple Family Member University of the Potomac Scholarship
University of the Potomac offers families with more than one member attending the University concurrently a scholarship equal to a 20% reduction in the credit hour tuition rate in effect at that time. To be eligible for the Multiple Family Member University of the Potomac Scholarship, candidates must:
Have two or more immediate family members enrolled in University of the Potomac during the same semester. For purposes of this scholarship family members are defined as spouses, children, siblings or grandchildren;
Both family members must complete the entire semester and maintain a 2.0 GPA;
No other University of the Potomac scholarships may be applied concurrently.
Students are encouraged to speak with the Admissions and/or Financial Aid Departments for more details.
Good Hope Scholarship
The University of the Potomac believes in the value of education and that life goals should be accessible to anyone with the desire and will to achieve. We are pleased to announce the Good Hope Scholarship to support the educational aspirations of youth within the Washington Metropolitan Area.
This newly formed endeavor advocates affordable excellence and strives to bridge the educational achievement gap. Scholarship recipients will receive $1,000 per year for their studies at the University of the Potomac toward costs not covered by other financial aid and the expected family contribution, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
