Please be advised: Financial aid programs are subject to change without prior notice due to updates in federal, state, or institutional policies. This may include changes to the types of available aid, award amounts, eligibility criteria, and application procedures. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with Parker One Stop to obtain the most current and personalized financial aid information.

Additionally, the Parker University will process private educational loans for students who request these (via a credit application). In order to comply with the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Parker University adheres to the Student Loan Code of Conduct. The guidelines listed are principles that ensure the integrity of the student aid process and ethical conduct of all Parker University employees in regard to student loan practices. **1. Revenue Sharing**The Parker University and its employees will not enter into any type of revenue-sharing arrangement with any lender, guarantor or servicer. The term “revenue-sharing arrangement” refers to an arrangement between an institution and a lender where a lender provides or issues a loan that is made, insured, or guaranteed to students under the Higher Education Act attending the institution or to the families of such students; and the institution recommends the lender or the loan products of the lender and in exchange, the lender pays a fee or provides other material benefits, including revenue or profit sharing, to the institution, an officer or employee of the institution. All loans are processed without regard to lender or mode of transmission (i.e., electronic or paper). The Parker University will neither recommend a private loan lender nor accept material benefits including revenue or profit sharing to the institution, an officer, or an employee of the institution or an agent. **2. Gifts**Parker University employees are prohibited from soliciting or accepting any gift from a lender, guarantor, or servicer of education loans. • Gifts include any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan or other item. This includes a gift of services, transportation, lodging, or meals, whether provided in kind, by purchase of a ticket, payment in advance, or reimbursement after the expense has incurred. • Gifts to family members of a Parker University employee are considered to be a gift to the employee if the gift is given with the knowledge and acquiescence of the employee and there is reason to believe the gift was given because of the official position of that employee. **3. Contracting Arrangements**Parker University employees are not accept from any lender or affiliate of any lender any fee, payment, or other financial benefit (including opportunity to purchase stock) as compensation for any consulting arrangement or other contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans. **4. Preferred Lender Status**The Parker University will certify private loans from any lender. We do provide a comprehensive list of all lenders that are utilized by our students and update this annually. **5. Interaction with Borrowers**All decisions will be made by the borrower in his/her independent review of borrower benefits and lender services. The Parker University will not refuse to certify, or delay certification of, any loan based on the borrower’s selection of a particular lender or guaranty agency. **6. Opportunity Pool Loan**The Parker University will not request or accept from any lender any offer of funds to be used for private education loans (defined in section 140 of the Truth in Lending Act) including funds for an opportunity pool loan in exchange for the Parker University providing concessions or promises regarding providing the lender with a specified number of loans made, insured or guaranteed; a specified loan volume of such loans; or a preferred lender arrangement for such loans. **7. Staffing Assistance**The Parker University will not request or accept from any lender, guarantor, or servicer of student loans any assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing. **8. Advisory Board Compensation**Parker University employees who serve on an advisory board, commission, or group established by a lender, guarantor, or group of lenders or guarantors, are prohibited from receiving anything of value from the lender, guarantor, or group of lenders or guarantors, except that the employee may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in serving on such advisory board, commission, or group. ##### **Fraud and Identity Theft** Every year the Department of Education makes millions of dollars of Title IV money available to Parker University students to help them pay for their education. However, students and the University must satisfy specific eligibility requirements to qualify for these funds. Cases of student aid fraud often involve students making false statements on the FAFSA to the Department of Education and the University on legal verification documents. **Conflicting Information** Parker University’s Office of Financial Aid has the right to verify conflicting information or questionable data that applicants may have submitted on their FAFSA. Conflicting information must be resolved so Title IV funds can be disbursed. Failure to submit accurate and legitimate verification documentation will jeopardize aid eligibility and could result in a fine and imprisonment. **Reporting Potential Fraud/Identity Theft** Federal Regulations require that Parker University provide information to the Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) any credible information in which they believe an applicant for Federal Student Aid ***may*** be engaging in fraudulent or other criminal misconduct in connection with their application. Common areas of misconduct include: - False claims of independent student status - False claims of citizenship - Stolen identities - False claims of high school completion - Forgery of signature on certifications - Unresolved conflicting information - False statements of income - The intent to deceive in order to receive Title IV aid **What are Diploma Mills?** A “diploma mill” is a company that offers “degrees” for a flat fee in a short amount of time with little or no coursework. Degrees awarded through diploma mills are not legitimate, are scams, and cannot be accepted by Parker University for enrollment or financial aid. - [Consumer Information – College Degree Scams (FTC)](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/college-degree-scams) **Where should you report fraud?** You also can report fraud to the OIG Hotline: - Email: [oig.hotline@ed.gov](mailto:%20oig.hotline@ed.gov) - Call: [1.800.MISUSED](tel:18006478733) - Fax: 202.245.7047 - Write: Inspector General Hotline, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-1500 ## types of financial aid Federal & State Grants The main criterion for receiving grants is substantial financial need. Grants do not have to be repaid unless a student becomes ineligible. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined in the Parker University Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. **Federal Pell Grant** Federal Pell Grants are awarded to qualified undergraduates to help pay for their education. Pell grants do not have to be repaid unless a student becomes ineligible. Eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant is based on several factors. Students complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and this generates an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number. Using the EFC number and other criteria, the amount of award is determined. Students with a bachelor’s degree are not eligible for Federal Pell Grants. **Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant FSEOG** The Federal SEOG provides additional grant assistance to students. Funds are limited and priority is given to Pell-eligible students with exceptional financial need. Federal SEOG awards do not have to be repaid unless a student becomes ineligible. Students with a bachelor’s degree are not eligible for Federal SEOG. **Tuition Equalization Grant** The Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) is a state-funded aid program designed to provide grants to students with financial need to enable them to attend private, non-profit universities in Texas. To qualify for an initial TEG amount, students must complete an application with the Financial Aid Office and meet the following eligibility criteria: - Be classified as a Texas resident; - Show financial need (as demonstrated by your FAFSA or TASFA); - Be enrolled in an eligible institution in Texas in a degree plan leading to a first associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degree; - Earn and maintain a cumulative college GPA of at least a 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and complete at least 24 credit hours per year (18 credit hours per year if a graduate student) with a minimum completion rate of 75% (this means you are completing at least 75% of the credit hours you attempt in each term); - Be enrolled at least three-quarter time; and - Be registered for Selective Service or be exempt from this requirement. To qualify for a continuing (or renewal) amount of TEG, students will not need to complete an additional application with the Financial Aid Office. Students who receive an initial amount of TEG will automatically have their eligibility re-evaluated in future years. To be approved for a renewal amount of TEG, the above listed criteria must continue to be met in addition to maintaining satisfactory academic progress. As this is a limited-funded program, TEG amounts will be offered on a first-come, first-served priority basis, and the Financial Aid Office cannot guarantee that all students who apply will be granted an amount of funding. Parker University Grants & Scholarships **Parker University Scholarship Programs** Parker University offers a variety of scholarships ranging from academic to financial for students who meet the criteria set by the university. **A&P Grant** Eligible students can receive a Parker University A&P Grant.

Federal Loans Parker University encourages students to maximize your borrowing by using all federal loan options before borrowing from private/alternative loan sources. #### Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loans Parker University was selected by the United States Department of Education to participate in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. A Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan eliminates lender and guarantee agencies. Parker University processes a student’s application in-house, and the loan is funded directly by the U.S. Department of Education. The Federal Direct Student Loans are low interest loans. Federal Direct Loan Subsidized Program repayment begins six (6) months after a student drops below half-time status. The loan has a [fixed interest rate](https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/interest-rates) that is determined each year by the federal government. Based on student eligibility for the subsidized loan, the unsubsidized loan amount may be increased based on unmet need if eligible. Unsubsidized loans are non-need based loans to students who meet the qualifications. The loan is based on the cost of attendance less any other financial aid a student receives. Interest is charged throughout the life of the loan. The following chart provides maximum annual and total loan limits for subsidized and unsubsidized loans as of July 1, 2012. #### Combined Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loan Limits for Eight Months of Study | **Doctor of Chiropractic Student** Unsubsidized Loan = $33,000 Total Loans = $33,000 | **Massage Therapy Student** Subsidized Loan = $3500/Unsubsidized Loan = $6000 Total Loans = $9500 | | --- | --- | | **Dependent Freshman** (Freshman=0-29 hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$3500/Unsubsidized Loan=$2000 Total Loans=$5500 | **Independent Freshman** (Freshman=0-29 hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$3500/ Unsubsidized Loan=$6000 Total Loans=$9500 | | **Dependent Sophomore** (Sophomore=30-59 hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$4500/Unsubsidized Loan=$2000 Total Loans=$6500 | **Independent Sophomore** (Sophomore=30-59 hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$4500/Unsubsidized Loan=$6000 Total Loans=$10,500 | | **Dependent Junior/Senior** (Junior/Senior=60+ hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$5500/Unsubsidized Loan=$2000 Total Loans=$7500 | **Independent Junior/Senior** (Junior/Senior=60+ hours completed) Subsidized Loan=$5500/Unsubsidized Loan=$7000 Total Loans=$12,500 | | **Graduate Student** Unsubsidized Loan=$20,500 Total Loans=$20,500 | | #### Federal Parent Plus Loan The Federal PLUS Loan (PLUS) programs provide non-need based loans to parents of dependent students. PLUS loan eligibility is based on the cost of attendance less any other financial aid a student receives. Repayment on a Federal PLUS begins within (60) sixty days after the final loan disbursement. These loans have [fixed interest rates](https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/interest-rates) determined annually by the federal government. #### Federal Graduate Professional Plus Loan Graduate and professional degree students are eligible to apply for the PLUS loan program up to their cost of attendance minus other estimated financial assistance in the direct loan program. The terms and conditions applicable to parent PLUS loans also apply to the graduate/professional PLUS loans. The requirements include a determination the applicant does not have an adverse credit history, repayment begins 6 months after the student falls below a half-time enrollment status, and a [fixed interest rate](https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/interest-rates) of 8.94 % (for loans disbursed 07/01/2025-06/30/2026). Applicants for these loans are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
