The philosophy for all need-based financial aid programs is that students and their families are primarily responsible for financing their education. Families applying for financial aid need to fill out a financial statement listing their income, assets and liabilities. Established federal and state formulas are used to determine a reasonable contribution from the student and family. State and federal financial aid is intended to meet education costs above that reasonable contribution. Financial aid must be applied for annually.
Financial assistance is awarded for the entire academic year.
If you apply, you will be considered for all types of aid, including grants, work and loans. Applicants must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and any other requested materials. In addition, summer applicants need to submit a supplemental summer application. All available federal and state aid will be direct credited to your account beginning the first day of class. Non-direct credit aid must be picked up and applied to your account in person in the Office of Student Business Services.
