Federal regulations require University of Phoenix to monitor student financial aid packages to make sure students remain within their financial need-based eligibility.
When a student receives a scholarship, it may result in the reduction or repayment of need-based financial assistance (student loans or grants) previously awarded to the student by University of Phoenix. When revising your financial aid, we will reduce loans first.
