Eligibility for the Questa Scholars 1/2 Back Loan Program requires applicants to:

1. Be a recent graduate from an Allen County public or private high school or home school program OR be an Allen County resident who recently received a GED.

   
   

   Recent graduates or GED recipients are defined as students who will graduate in May or June of the current calendar year (or receive a GED) or who graduated high school the prior May or June (last calendar year). First-year college freshmen who graduated from an Allen County high school, home school or GED program last year are eligible to apply.




2. Possess a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA upon receiving his or her high school diploma. First year college freshmen who apply must possess a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA after their first year of college.

   
   

   A 2.75 cumulative GPA is a minimum requirement for consideration. Because the application and selection process is highly competitive, most recipients will need to have a cumulative GPA much higher than this.




3. Demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA application for federal student aid. 

   
   

   The Student Aid Report (SAR) that is generated by the FAFSA application will be used by Questa to determine financial need. Questa Scholar loans are intended to fund students from middle income families – those who evidence a funding gap between what a student and his or her family can afford to contribute and the actual cost of a college education.




4. Complete and submit all Questa Scholar application materials before the June 10 4:00 p.m. deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
