Although PTK students typically perform at a high scholastic level, a really bad semester can happen to even the best of students. Do not assume that you will be unable to qualify for financial assistance because of a low gpa. Although many scholarships and loans are fully or partially based on performance, many others are needs-based. Some scholarships are specifically established to assist those students who have "average" performance records. |

SCAM ALERT
If money is available, then thieves will not be far behind! An application that requires you to send in money to be considered should be dropped in the nearest shredder. No legitimate scholarship organization requires that potential recipients send money to be considered for an award.
Loans are funding that MUST be repaid. Before taking out a private loan, check with your financial aid office to see if you qualify for low interest guaranteed loans. Read loan applications carefully and be sure you understand both the rate of interest that will be added to the loan, and the compounding period that will be applied.
