College can be affordable. We start with competitive tuition rates. Then we add a range of financial aid programs, including grants and scholarships. In fact, 98% of undergrad students receive some type of aid. We work with you and your family personally to create a custom aid package. With these resources, you can make Belhaven your Haven.
Customized Assistance for Every Student
Belhaven awards each student a comprehensive and customized financial aid package. Whether you're just starting, transferring in, or continuing on, we work with you personally to ensure your success. Your package might include:
- FAFSA data (family income)
- High school or transfer institution GPA
- ACT or SAT scores (if applicable)
- Other academic and career achievements
Schedule an Appointment
The Office of Student Financial Services has a great way to schedule an in-person chat or video conference with a counselor. If you're unable to come to campus, we're happy to schedule a virtual appointment. You'll find this option in BlazeNet.
What Is the FAFSA?
FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Fill it out online through the U.S. Department of Education. You’ll need your most recent family tax return.
Belhaven’s code: 002397. Include it to make sure we get your application quickly.
If you need assistance completing the FAFSA or have questions about aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at 601-968-5933 or by email at studentaid@belhaven.edu.
Types of Financial Aid
Scholarships reduce the cost of your education and do not have to be paid back. This assistance may be based on academic performance, legacy or transfer status, or membership in a group like the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
Belhaven offers work-study positions for full-time, on-campus undergraduate students. The work-study program provides aid through on-campus or community-based jobs averaging 10 hours a week. Work-study is funded by both the university and by federal resources.
Positions are available based on financial need. On-campus positions pay $9.50 per hour, and off-campus positions pay $10 per hour. Apply by visiting BlazeNet and completing the Work-Study Application.
