Edgewood College does not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race, color, age, sex, religion, handicap, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin.
In order to receive financial aid, students must:
To apply for financial aid at Edgewood College, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov.
Applying early is the key to maximizing the number of aid programs for which students will be considered. The College’s priority filing date is December 1.
Students interested in taking a leave of absence must initiate the process through Student Health Services or Personal Counseling Office. If a student with financial aid takes a leave of absence, a Return of Title IV Funds will be calculated, see “Financial Aid Refund Policy” below.
The Financial Aid Refund policy was developed in accordance with the 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Amendments. Please note that this is a separate policy from the tuition refund policy and schedule of the Business Office.
If a student withdraws from the College on or before 60% of the semester is completed, a percentage of federal financial aid funds received by the student shall be returned by Edgewood College, and possibly the student. The following formula will be used in determining the amount to be returned:
Total Title IV aid disbursed (including aid that could have been disbursed)
- Earned Aid [Title IV Aid Received (excluding Work-Study) X % of Semester Attended = Earned Aid]
___________________________________
= Aid that must be returned
At the time of withdrawal, the College returns the financial aid funds it is required to return. In certain situations, a student may be asked to repay financial aid funds they received that semester as a result of a previous credit balance. A copy of the Return of Title IV Funds policy is available from Edgewood Central.
If a student unofficially withdraws, simply stops attending class or earns no credits, the return-of-funds rules apply and aid is sent back to the appropriate program. Often the semester midpoint will be used as the last day of attendance unless otherwise documented.
Please Note: This policy is separate and distinct from the College’s tuition refund policy.

Student financial aid awards may be adjusted if the student’s tuition is covered 100% by veteran benefits/programs. Veterans in this situation are eligible for Edgewood College Academic Scholarships.
Edgewood College academic scholarships and Wisconsin grants are tuition-specific.
All financial aid recipients are required to meet the satisfactory academic progress standards established by Edgewood College, per federal regulations. This policy is separate from the College’s academic standing policy and is monitored at the end of each academic term.
