Private aid is available from many outside organizations. There is no need to repay, but most carry certain requirements. Scholarships are typically based on merit, while grants are most often need-based. Students should search and apply for scholarships nationally and in their local area.
If students are awarded aid from an outside organization, they must report those awards to JP Catholic to avoid overawarding of Federal aid.
