Financial Aid
The price tag of education can be overwhelming. The advising team is available to answer general questions about financial aid, but we recommend students also speak with their Financial Aid Counselor. Find your Financial Counselor.
We also recommend all students complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Through FAFSA, a student can receive grants, loans, and work study. Completing the FAFSA also ensures a student receives the best loans for their unique situation. You can visit FAFSA to get started.
