St. Norbert College administers financial aid funds from federal, state and institutional sources. These funds are in the form of scholarships, grants, student employment and loans. Scholarships and grants are known as gift assistance since they do not have to be earned or repaid. Student employment and student loans are known as self-help. Most financial aid packages include a combination of gift and self-help assistance. However, students who already possess an undergraduate degree may only apply for self-help assistance.
