Additional Financial Assistance Opportunities

The Financial Assistance Department has information on loans, grants, scholarships, and student employment. Other methods you can use to help finance your education include:

• Additional Financial Assistance Opportunities (Privately Sponsored/Transfer Scholarships, etc.)

• Tax Credits.  Education tax credits can help offset education costs. The Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit are education credits you can subtract in full from the federal income tax, not just deduct from taxable income.  Additional information may be obtained from the local federal IRS office.

• Workforce Development Network (For more detailed information about the WDN, contact the Southern Maryland Workforce Development Network at 301-934-2251 extension 7516.)
