The Basics

Funding a degree is a concern for most college students and we want to help you with the financial aid process.

What is Financial Aid?

Financial aid can come from a variety of aid programs to help you pay for your education. To receive federal aid you must annually file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available online on January 1. File early for maximum aid.

The FAFSA is a requirement, in order for us to consider you for need-based aid and for non-need-based federal student loans.
