Financial Aid for Distance Degree Students

Financial Aid is available for distance degree students at Adams State College. There are three types of aid for distance degree students: loans, grants, and scholarships. If you are admitted in a distance degree program and enrolled in distance education courses, you may be eligible for Financial Aid, but it may be limited.

A student enrolled solely in correspondence study* cannot be considered to be enrolled more than half-time, regardless of the number of credits the student is taking (see table below). Only tuition, fees, and required books and supplies may be included in a student's cost of attendance for financial aid of correspondence courses. Students enrolled in telecommunication courses* can receive full financial aid.
