  • possess a high school diploma or GED certificate
  • be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program
  • be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
  • have a valid Social Security number
  • make satisfactory academic progress if you are a continuing student, as established in the school's catalog
  • if required, be registered with Selective Service
  • not have been convicted of certain drug offenses
  • sign a statement of educational purpose and certification or a statement on overpayment and default (both found on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form (FAFSA))
