 Financial Assistance

BGI participates with federal, state, and private agencies to make various financial aid programs available to students.  Financial assistance (financial aid) awarded through BGI may consist of a combination of institutional scholarships and grants, state aid programs, federal and private loans, and/or part-time work-study opportunities for those who qualify.

Students wishing to apply for financial assistance are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the BGI Institutional Application for Financial Aid.  Both of these requirements are detailed in the sections following.  

Our work-study programs offer students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while earning money for college. Students can enhance their current course work as well as their future professions by integrating classroom learning with real-world work experience.

Scholarships are financial awards which do not have to be repaid.  Funds are provided by a variety of government, civic, and professional organizations as well as the school itself. Awards are made in recognition of outstanding student achievement, which can be defined in many ways – by academic talent, community service involvement, or demonstrated leadership abilities.

Institutional grants are financial awards that do not have to be repaid. They are based on need, meaning that whether or not a student qualifies will be determined by their Estimated Family Contribution (EFC).    

A loan is financial aid that must be prepaid to the lending institution.  Eligibility, interest rates, payment deferment periods (if any), and loan amounts vary by the type of loan the student obtains. Loans are available in several forms.
