As an international student considering PCOM, I need to understand what types of financial aid are available to me and the general eligibility requirements. Specifically, can international students who are not US citizens or eligible noncitizens apply for federal student aid? If not, what other types of aid might be available, and how can I contact the financial aid office for more information?
Navigate to 'pcom.edu'. Click on 'Financial Aid'. Identify and list the general types of financial aid offered by PCOM. Navigate to the 'How to Apply for Financial Aid' section. Locate the eligibility requirements for federal student aid to determine if international students (who are not US citizens or eligible noncitizens) qualify. Based on the information found, infer if other types of aid might be available to international students not eligible for federal aid. Navigate to the 'Contact' section within Financial Aid. Extract the email address and phone number for the main PCOM Financial Aid Office. Synthesize all collected information to answer the task, clearly stating federal aid eligibility for international students and providing contact details for further inquiries.
The agent successfully navigates to the main Financial Aid page. The agent identifies and lists at least three types of financial aid offered (e.g., Scholarships, Student Loans, Federal Work Study, Clinical Student Housing Funding, PCOM Student Emergency Funding, COVID-19 Emergency Funding, Veterans Benefits, Alumni Resources for Students). The agent explicitly states that for federal student aid, students must be a 'US citizen or eligible noncitizen', implying that international students who do not meet this criteria are not eligible for federal aid. The agent acknowledges that the website does not explicitly list specific financial aid programs for international students who are not US citizens or eligible noncitizens, but infers that other non-federal aid types might be available (e.g., PCOM scholarships, emergency funding, clinical student housing funding). The agent provides the email address for the PCOM Financial Aid Office as 'finaid@pcom.edu'. The agent provides the phone number for the PCOM Financial Aid Office as '215-871-6170'.
