Depending on your financial need, you will be awarded a package of financial aid consisting of gift assistance and self help. Self help consists of loans and work. If you exhibit financial need, your gift assistance and self help will be need-based. If you do not exhibit financial need, you may be awarded a merit based scholarship which isn t based on need. Also, if you do not exhibit financial need, you will be eligible to work on campus and to take out loans which aren t based on financial need.
Some merit based scholarships require a separate application form.
Merit based aid consists of scholarships that are awarded to students to recognize academic achievement or talents. They are awarded without regard to a family s ability to pay for college.
