Financial Aid is money for educational expenses which may come in the form of grants, loans, scholarships, and work-study programs. Almost all students qualify for some type of Financial Aid. Priority deadlines are important in the process. There are a number of recommended avenues to pursue scholarship opportunities. Please see the scholarship section of our home page.
Federal programs have funds allocated to individual schools.
If you transfer, you must apply for a financial aid award from the new school. The amounts of Financial Aid offered may vary from school to school. Unless students fall into one of the above categories, parental income and net assets must be considered before an offer of Financial Aid is made. After financial aid is applied to university charges, it may be used for room and board, personal expenses, and transportation expenses. Students are expected to budget their funds accordingly.
