FINANCIAL AID:

Driven by the philosophy of democratizing higher education along with the motto “Education for All” the students should not be denied the opportunity to pursue their university education because of limited financial resources. The Student Financial Aid Package is well-known to meet the goal of the aforementioned philosophy. This is achieved by providing qualified students with financial aid without any discrimination. LIU has created several types of financial aid programs to provide to the needs of new and current students. Following the aforementioned theme LIU grants all newly enrolled students a competitive package of financial aid. However, satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is a requirement for all students receiving Financial Aid at LIU. This generally consists of maintaining, right after attempting thirty Credits, at least a cumulative grade point average GPA of 70 % and passing enough classes (67 % of attempted Credits) with progress toward a degree. However, due to its high operational cost, students in the SoPH are not eligible to Financial Aid

To maintain Financial Aid, a student should fulfill the conditions below:

1. Demonstrate financial need
2. Be enrolled with a minimum number of credits each semester as required by the maximum duration of program cycle
