Site Map . Financial Aid is any grant, scholarship, loan, or paid employment offered to help a student meet college expenses. Financial aid is usually provided by various sources such as federal and state agencies, colleges, high schools, foundations, and corporations. The amount of financial aid a student receives is determined by federal, state and institutional guidelines. Interest rates and repayment terms vary by program.
Employment is aid based on an hourly rate for work performed.
To determine eligibility for Financial Aid, you must apply each year. The application process may vary somewhat from college to college, so you are encouraged to contact each campus for applications and deadline information. We strongly recommend that all applicants for admission begin the Financial Aid process before a final decision concerning their enrollment is made. We strongly encourage parents of all Financial Aid applicants complete their federal tax returns early enough to meet college deadlines. It is important to note that the tax returns are from the year immediately prior to the start of the academic year.
