Approved and accepted Financial Aid may be used as credit toward your bill. Any alternative loan (not a federal subsidized or unsubsidized loan) must be approved and accepted by Fitchburg State College in order to be used as credit. Please apply early for this type of loan as the processing time varies. In addition to your financial aid you may use outside resources such as, private scholarships, Massachusetts Rehabilitation, Massachusetts Vocational Rehabilitation, and Massachusetts Commission of the Blind, by submitting a copy of the scholarship award letter or the appropriate purchase order.
