Payment of Tuition, Fees, and Charges |
The assessment is based on five maincriteria: adequacy, efficiency, unit costs,systems and procedures of resource allocationand alternative funding sources. The findingsreveal that the universities are faced with anacute shortage of funds and that existingfinancial systems and procedures are controloriented rather than promoting efficiency andquality enhancement. Moreover, the heavilystate dependent university system, particularlyin the area of financing, has failed to keeppace with pro-market policy reforms at nationallevel and, hence, continues to operate within acontrol oriented regulatory framework. In thepresent era of globalization, universities needto be more market oriented in terms ofmanagement, delivery of services and revenuegeneration.
Financial aid, simply defined, is money which helps students pay for their educational costs. As an HBU student, you may receive aid in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, employment opportunities, or a combination of these.

Federal programs such as Stafford Loans for students and PLUS Loans for parents and graduate and professional degree students have fixed interest rates. Private or alternative loans typically have interest rates that rise and fall with the economy. Private loans rely on credit reports; federal student loans don't.

If you don't qualify for a subsidized Stafford Loan, your next option is an unsubsidized Stafford Loan, which charges a 6.8% interest rate starting immediately for loans disbursed between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. For unsubsidized loans, you have the option of not paying interest until six months after you leave school.
