To make Hastings College an affordable option for deserving students meeting certain criteria, the College offers various grants. Unlike loans, grants do not need to be repaid.
HASTINGS COLLEGE GRANTS
Need-Based Grant
When disbursing need-based grants, Hastings College considers your demonstrated financial need -- based on FAFSA results -- and your personal and family circumstances.
Family Grant
Do you have brothers or sisters attending HC? Families with two or more dependents attending Hastings College on a full-time basis in the same academic year receive $1,000 per year for each student.
Legacy Grant
If you note on your application that your parents, siblings, or grandparents graduated Hastings College, you can receive this $1,000 grant.
Campus Employment
To help you cover your college expenses, we offer a limited number of part-time employment opportunities. On-campus jobs are assigned to new students based on demonstrated need and a desire to work. You must note your interest in securing on-campus employment in your application.
FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS
Available to undergraduate students with significant financial need, Federal Pell Grants are disbursed based on the results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Unlike federal loans, you do not need to repay Federal Pell Grants.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
Available to students with exceptional financial need, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are distributed by the institution based on need and funding availability. The results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determine your eligibility.
These grants are available to Nebraska students attending postsecondary institutions in Nebraska. Your eligibility for these grants is based on the results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
