Office of Financial Aid

College can be one of the biggest and best investments of your life. Many students are unsure what’s the best way to pay for school. That’s where the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships comes in. Whether you’re from a low-income family or have had a sudden life change, you have options, and we can help.

Each year we disburse more than $120 million in grants, scholarships, work study, and student loans. Not only that, but we also have a database that can help you find thousands of external scholarships in minutes. We’ll help you determine which of these forms of financial aid best suits you and your financial situation.

Do you have other concerns? We’ll gladly answer any questions and guide you through the process of finding effective ways to fund your education. Call, email, or set up an appointment to talk with one of our advisors.

    A Student's Perspective

    "Financial Aid has helped me to succeed by being another helping hand for me.  It has allowed me to be able to cover the costs of college, so I am able to attend.  Being the first in my family to attend college, receiving financial aid has helped me to pursue my dream of getting a college education."
