Campus-Based Federal Aid

Funds are allocated to and administered directly by the Student Financial Services office, which awards the funds to students using Federal guidelines.

Campus Based programs include:

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

  • Iona College awards this Federal Grant to students with exceptional need. First preference is given to Pell recipients.

Federal Perkins Loan

  • Amounts vary according to need with a maximum loan of $4000 per year at Iona. The interest rate on the Perkins loan is 5% and no interest accrues while you are in school. Repayment of your loan begins nine months after graduation or if you drop below half time.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

  • FWS is a federally sponsored work program. This is money you receive in the form of a paycheck for work performed, and cannot, therefore, be used up front to pay tuition.

    Iona College is pleased to announce the arrival of a new Web service to help employers and students in the job posting and placement process.
    With this new tool, students will be able to:
    • Search for Work-Study jobs on line.
    • Receive automated email when preferred jobs become available.
    • Apply for jobs online.
