- Abstract:
- Campus-Based Programs are a set of three Federal student aid programs that are administered directly by postsecondary schools. Schools apply for funds directly to the Department of Education and then make awards to students. The three Campus-Based student aid programs are:
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) - a grant for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need; priority given to students who receive Pell Grants;
- Federal Work Study (FWS) ? provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to pay educational expenses; encourages community service work and work related to the student?s course of study; and
- Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins) ? low-interest loan for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need; loans are made by and repaid to schools; loans may be wholly or partially cancelled through specified community or military service.
The Campus-Based System (CBS) processes schools? applications for funds under the FSEOG, FWS, and Perkins programs. CBS produces award letters and obligates funds to schools. It also processes loan cancellation payments to schools.
