30 Cedarville College Student Aid Many students need assistance in meeting educational costs. Since financial need is one of the factors considered in awarding aid, each single student desiring financial aid in the form of a scholarship or loan, underwritten by the college, must submit a Parent's Confidential State– ment through the College Scholarship Service. This form may be secured from a high school guidance counselor or the Student Financial Aid office. Students anticipating financial need should have these forms completed by their parents at least six months prior to the time that they will need to secure aid funds. Application for any aid must be made well in advance of the anticipated need. All requests for student aid are handled by the Director of Financial Aid. Scholarships and Grants Academic scholarships are available to students who have demon– strated academic ability and a definite financial need.

Athletic grants-in-aid are available for qualified athletes. Inquiries should be addressed to the Athletic Director.
