Yea, Grove City College ran into this fight when they wanted to be able to have requirements based on religion at the college.

It's a college where you can literally be expelled if you skip going to chapel or going to church instead of the on campus chapel too many times.

They fought for their right to keep religion as a central part of the college all the way to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court told them they couldn't do so and accept federal funds.

Therefore you cannot get any kind of government finical aid to attend Grove City College, not even a government guaranteed loan.

However, because of dedicated staff and alumni, it's an pretty good and affordable College. They have kept their costs down because they've had to do so since students can't receive financial aid.

My school has mandatory chapels and we have federal financial aid.

If you do not attend the required number of chapels per semester (14), you won't be able to graduate. Period.

I somehow doubt you are explaining the Grove City situation correctly.
