About the Office
An assortment of federal, institutional
and private resources are available to help students finance
their education. Eligibility for these funds is in most cases
based on an applicant’s demonstrated financial need,
which is determined by the information submitted on your FAFSA. Financial need is based upon
the total amount of student tuition and living expenses minus
the expected student contribution.
Financial aid awards are not automatically
renewed; all continuing financial aid recipients
must reapply for financial aid each academic year.
The allocation of these resources is contingent upon student eligibility and the availability of funds. |
