This admission deposit is subject to forfeiture after April 15 if enrollment is not completed. In order for a student to be enrolled, tuition and fees must be paid or proof of payment must be established. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for the administration of student financial aid and financial counseling to students applying for aid. Students who are interested in loans, scholarships, or work-study employment should apply to this office. The principal and primary responsibility for financing an education remains with the student.
Financial aid is offered to the student only to supplement the funds the student can provide.
All students admitted to the College who require financial aid must meet at least a portion of their needs through the Federal Family Education Loan Programs. Any additional financial aid may be in the form of a scholarship, grant, loan, work-study program, or some combination of these four. The total amount of financial aid offered in various forms to a student by the College and all other financial aid sources will never be allowed to exceed his or her actual need. The ability of a student to meet the College expense is determined by considering carefully the student's relative financial strength in terms of income, assets, and debts. There are a number of programs awarded under individualized application.
