For local or permanent residents or citizens of the United States, applications for federal financial aid in the form of PLUS, subsidized, and unsubsidized loans may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs. Citizens or permanent residents may also qualify for federal Pell Grants which do not require repayment. However, be sure that you understand the difference between a grant (you are not obligated to repay) and a loan (you must repay after graduation or termination of studies). If you have any further questions concerning financial aid, you may call the Office of Student Affairs at GCU or the Georgia Student Finance Commission at 1-800-414-3080 or the US Department of Education at 1-800-433-3243.
