The Federal Financial Aid you receive may not cover the entire budget associated with your education. You may apply for alternative loans up to the maximum amount of your UVU budget after federal aid is awarded. In order for Utah Valley University to certify an alternative loan, you must be an admitted, registered, and degree-seeking student making satisfactory academic progress. You must be registered at least half-time (6 credits) to be eligible for a loan.

You must first complete the lender’s application and promissory note. You may apply to any lender of your choice. The application and promissory note must be submitted to the lender, not to UVU. You will need to complete the "Aviation Information Form" before your alternative loan can be certified.

Once a student is approved for a loan by the lender, the lender will request that UVU certify the loan. When UVU certifies the loan, we are confirming to the lender that you, as the student and loan applicant, meet all eligibility requirements.

The maximum amount you may have certified per year in alternative loans is your cost of attendance minus federal aid. Your cost of attendance is federally mandated and includes your costs of attending and pursuing a degree at UVU. Your cost of attendance is calculated every academic year. Loan requests for more than the cost of attendance will be reduced or denied certification by UVU. Loans are disbursed in two or three equal installments, usually at the beginning of each semester. You can only receive the amount that you are eligible for, regardless of what you request.

Alternative loan funds will be disbursed from your lender to UVU in the form of a check. This check cannot be released to you until your tuition has been paid in full. If you are receiving Federal Financial Aid (which is strongly recommended), make sure all requirements have been completed so your Federal funds can disburse to pay your tuition by the due date. If you are not receiving Federal funds, or your federal funds are not enough to pay the entire amount of your tuition, please make arrangements to pay your balance. This can be done through the Cashier's Office or you can submit payment through your UV Link account (Global Aviation students are not eligible for a payment plan).

Note: If you are a local student flying at the UVU flight school, your alternative loan disbursement will be deposited into your flight account. If you withdraw from flight training or transfer to another flight school, any remaining funds in your flight account must be sent back to your lender. Please contact Financial Aid if you have questions regarding your disbursement.

Scholarships may be available for local students (flying at UVU - Provo). Please visit UVU Scholarships.

Global students may apply for the Roger L. Vincent Scholarship through the Scholarship Office. (Make sure you select "Privately Funded" on the scholarship application.)

Note: Scholarship applications must be completed through your UVLink account. If you have scholarship application questions, please contact Scholarships at 801-863-8443.

Veteran's benefits are available to those who qualify. Please visit www.uvu.edu/veterans/index.html for more information.
