Non-Need Based Financing Options
For most families, financing a college education is second only
to purchasing a home, and in some cases, college costs supersede
this expense as well. We at Bucknell recognize the difficulty this
investment can present for many families, even for those who have
been prudent in their planning for their children's education.
Therefore, to ease the financial burdens associated with meeting
comprehensive costs, the university has made a number of options
available to Bucknell parents, regardless of the family's financial
status. One of these provides for a monthly payment plan.
Bucknell's Monthly Payment Plan
Administered by Key Education Resources, this plan allows families
to make 10 equal monthly payments for the academic year, or five
monthly payments for a semester. There is a non-refundable $50
application fee. You may apply on-line at www.key.com/educate
or you may call 800-KEY-LEND. If you decide to enroll as a member
of the Class of 2008, our Finance Office will mail application
information to you.
In addition, the federal government and private financial institutions
make possible several loan programs to students and their families.
Finally, employment opportunities exist on campus for all Bucknell
students, regardless of their financial need; likewise, many organizations
outside the university offer non-need-based scholarships or grants
to deserving individuals.
