Scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs are provided to eligible students by the federal and state governments and private donors. Some programs are based on merit or academic records, and others on demonstrated financial need.

The University encourages students who believe they may not be able to enroll or continue their education because they lack financial resources to apply for financial aid through the Financial Aid Services office.
The federal government is a major source of grants, loans, and work-study funds to undergraduate and graduate students. With the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment of 1992, applicants are required to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) form to the federal processor for the determination of eligibility for federal, state, and institutional program funds.

In addition to the FAFSA, the University requires an institutional supplemental form. If you have been selected for verification, you must submit federal tax forms, a verification worksheet, and other forms as required by Financial Aid Services. Students interested in applying for financial aid should write to the office for a financial aid packet containing instructions and forms.

The offer of aid may include funds from public and private sources, depending on the applicant's residency, degree of need, date of file completion, major, class level, and availability of funds. Recipients will be sent a copy of their rights and responsibilities, including the description of the type of funds awarded and disbursement procedures.

Deadlines

The priority deadline is March 1; however, applications will be accepted after that date with awards offered contingent on available funds.
