How are you going to pay for college?

The Financial Aid Office staff can assist you with the  process of applying for financial aid, grants, and student loans.

It's not too late to apply! The priority application date for the 2012-2013 academic year was May 1, 2012. But even if you didn't meet the priority deadline, you can still apply.

There are three types of financial aid:
 

Gift Aid
Grants
Scholarships
(don't have to be
paid back)
Loans
(Must be repaid)
Employment
(Federal Work Study,
On Campus)

There are four funding sources:

Federal State Schools Private Funders
(Institutions or Agencies)

Check in with members of our expert team of financial aid advisors to find the answers to your questions. To find out if you're eligible for Financial Aid follow the steps below.

Steps for applying for Financial Aid:

  1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

  2. You'll be mailed a Student Aid Report in response to your FAFSA submission.

  3. If you did not meet the priority deadline and your file has not been processed by the time your bill is due, you will have to pay your tuition in full, or set up a payment arrangement with the Student Accounts Office. You may be reimbursed from your financial aid funds IF eligible. (Not all students receive enough financial aid to pay their entire bill.)

  4. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions
