The Financial Aid Office provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships, loans, grants and work-study employment. All students are expected to work to help finance their education. Students who miss the March 2 deadline should still apply for financial aid. Undergraduates with outstanding academic records are encouraged to apply for scholarships.
Graduate students are eligible for most of the same types of financial aid as undergraduates.
In addition, graduate scholarships, fellowships, and teaching and research assistantships are administered through Graduate Studies. State graduate fellowships are awarded to students who are pursuing an advanced or professional degree with intent to become college or university faculty members. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and academic eligibility. The awards pay part of the cost of registration fees and are based on undergraduate grades, test scores, parents' educational level and consideration of disadvantaged background and parents' financial information. Eligibility for most assistance is based upon demonstrated financial need.
