Financial Information

• Scholarships and Financial Aid:
  Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Familiarize yourself with our website and learn about the financial aid process, various types of aid, important processing dates, and much more. Your financial aid award will assist you in paying for your education, but it does not always cover the entire cost of attendance. Therefore, it is important to have a plan in place to pay the balance of your bill if you do not have enough financial aid.
