Institutional Grants and Scholarships
Need-Based Grants
Financial need is reevaluated each year to determine
the level of institutional need-based grants, no matter if the
grants are continuing or newly awarded.
- Pine Manor Grant
- Grants are
awarded to full-time students who demonstrate financial need, as
determined by a standard formula used by the Financial Aid Office
which relates to the federal method of determining aid eligibility.
The grant is available to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens
only. The award amount of the grant varies depending on the extent
of financial need. Financial need is reevaluated each year to determine
the level of continuing grants. Apply with the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
and the Verification Worksheet for either dependent or independent students .
Pine Manor College’s Federal School Code for use on the FAFSA
is 002201.
