Bradley University offers the following sources of financial assistance. Since all students have individual characteristics which determine eligibility for specific awards, seldom will an individual "package" contain every program listed.

Federal
Loans
At Bradley, federal loan recipients borrow directly from the federal
government. These low-interest loans are deferred until after graduation
as long as students maintain at least half-time enrollment. For

College
Work Study
Students with limited family resources as determined by the results
of the FAFSA are provided this federally-funded opportunity to earn
"spending money" through part-time, on-campus employment. Students
typically work 8 to 10 hours per week at minimum wage earning about
$1500 per year. Paychecks are issued bi-weekly. Click
here for more information.
Students wishing to work who are not eligible for College Work Study are able to find other on-campus employment opportunities.
