What is the period of eligibility for undergraduate students?
Federal guidelines require the establishment of a maximum time frame, or period of eligibility, during which students can receive federal aid. The Financial Aid Office follows the continuance requirements as listed in the Undergraduate Program Catalog. A maximum time frame of five years has been established to recognize the fact that some students need up to ten semesters to complete their degree. In most cases, State and William & Mary grant funds will be available only for the first four years (8 semesters).
