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 Office of Student Financial Services at the School of Social Work. Financial need is based upon the total amount of student tuition and living expenses minus the expected student and/or family contribution.

Financial aid awards are not automatically renewed, therefore 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.
