Financial cost is one of the concerns causing prospective students to hesitate when they think about going back to school. They may worry that they won’t receive enough aid or that they won’t be able to figure out how to pay.
Fortunately, Cal State Fullerton’s online bachelor’s in business administration degree-completion program addresses these concerns. Here are a few ways to plan financially for a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
Financial Aid
Students can apply for financial aid to pay for part of their education. While the Online B.A. in Business Administration program is not eligible for State University Grants or for the Educational Opportunity Program, online CSUF business students are eligible for a variety of other financial aid options. Some, like Stafford Loans and Pell Grants, are from the federal government; others, including Cal Grants, are from the state of California. Eligibility depends on family income, circumstances and enrollment status. To apply, submit a FAFSA form by March 2. Contact the CSUF Office of Financial Aid for more information.
There are also scholarships available to honor student achievements. The process of earning scholarships can include writing an essay and submitting letters of recommendation from educators and advisers. Students can find which scholarships they’re eligible for with CSUF’s Scholarship Search. Contact the CSUF Scholarships Office for more information.
Upon becoming actively enrolled in the online business program at CSUF, students have access to a designated liaison with the CSUF Office of Financial Aid. This is an important benefit that can help students understand their financial aid options.
