Financial Information

• Scholarships and Financial Aid:
  Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year after it becomes available on Oct. 1 of your senior year is the most important step toward receiving federal aid funds (loans, grants and work-study) and aid directly from Transylvania. Virtually every Transy applicant who completes the FAFSA is offered some form of aid, with an average package of approximately $30,000 per year.
