Financial Aid
Penn Commercial takes pride in helping prospective and current students
with the Financial Aid process. The Financial Aid Department will assist
in the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Not
only does Penn Commercial participate in Title IV programs, but various
institutional scholarships are also offered. Financial Aid is available
for those who qualify. You must meet the following basic eligibility
requirements to be considered for financial aid:
- You must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen as defined
by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Application for Federal Student Aid).

Types of Financial Aid
- Grant money may be available to you, which does not have to be
paid back.
- You can also apply for a Student Loan. This type of loan is paid
back on a payment plan (after you are out of school) at a low rate
of interest.
- You may also be able to get a scholarship award to help with your
schooling costs. Click here to learn more about scholarship
