How to Apply - Step 3

Step 3: Award Letter
Your award letter lists the amounts of grants, work study and loans for which you qualify. The grants apply to your account automatically, depending on the number of credits you are registered for.

If you have been awarded work study and would like an on campus job, contact the position supervisor See the HTC Work Study Jobs page for more information.

Your award letter shows the amount of loan you are eligible to borrow. Having a loan listed on your award letter does not mean it will automatically apply to your account. You have to tell us how much you want to borrow and for which terms. You do this by completing a Master Promissory Note (MPN).

The HTC Foundation offers scholarships for both Fall and Spring semesters. There are many scholarship opportunities outside of HTC as well. See our outside scholarships page or use a scholarship search engine.

If you will have child care expenses as a result of going to school you may be eligible for post-secondary child care assistance. This grant requires an additional application to be completed by you and your child care provider.

If your family income changes significantly after you have filed your previous year’s taxes, you may want to request your financial aid be reviewed. The request form is available each January. If your grant eligibility increases, the new award amount will apply to both Fall and Spring semesters.
