Financial Info on ROAR

If you are unsure how to get to ROAR to view your Financial Aid Information, click below:

On the top of the page is the primary tabs (Main menu; Personal Information, Student, Financial Aid, Proxy Access).  

• Click on the Financial Aid tab.

Under the title Financial aid, there will be a menu with several items (e.g., Financial Aid Status).

To find a summary of your financial information for a specific year:

• Click on Financial Aid Status on the menu

On the example summary below, if you click on awarded in the sentence "You have been awarded financial aid with total (your amount will be here),"  you will go to a second group of tabs as shown below below:

From the second group of tabs below, when you click on the Award Overview tab you will get a breakdown of:

• Need calculation 

  • If you have financial need and meet certain criteria, you may be offered “need-based aid.” This is calculated by looking at the Cost of Attendance, your expected family contribution, and what is left. You cannot receive more need-based aid than your financial need.

    • Ex. If the Cost of Attendance is $15,000 and your expected family contribution is $10,000, your financial need is $5,000.

  • The following are the need-based federal student aid programs:

    • Federal Pell Grant

    • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

    • Direct Subsidized Loan

    • Federal Work-Study

• Expected enrollment status

  • This is a record of dates you are expected to be enrolled in college and if you would be considered a full-time student (taking 12+ credit hours) or a part-time student (taking less than 12 credit hours). 

• Cost of Attendance

  • This is the amount it will cost you to attend college. At Pierpont, this is generally an estimate of tuition and fees.

• Cumulative Loan Information 

  • The total amount of student loan debt a borrower has. This is categorized by subsidized and unsubsidized loans.

• Financial Aid Award by Term for the selected aid year

  • Refer to Awarded definition

  • This is your Financial Aid Award organized by term (fall or spring semester) for the aid year you select.
