Financial aid consists of scholarships and grants, loans (which must be repaid), and part-time employment. The University makes every effort within its means to help all students with limited financial resources secure the needed funds.
The Office of Student Financial Aid helps students and their families on all our campuses plan for financing a college education; therefore, if you have financial concerns we invite you to seek assistance from the Office of Student Financial Aid before changing your educational goals.
