Financial Aid

With the increasing costs of higher education, funding can be one of the most important factors in a student’s life. The Financial Aid Office is open year-round to provide students with advice and assistance in applying for and receiving all financial aid for which they are eligible. Many kinds of aid are available through a variety of sources. Never automatically assume you are ineligible for aid.

Additional information including financial aid eligibility requirements, aid distribution policies, work-study job postings and guidance for conducting outside scholarship searches can be found here.
