Student Financial Aid & Scholarships

Securing the Future

The return on investment from a college education cannot be beaten, however increasing costs associated with higher education requires a major commitment from students and their families. The Office for Financial Aid and Scholarships works to ensure that students are able to achieve their educational goals by offering a wide range of resources and information. Grants, work-study, student and parent loans, scholarships and non-resident tuition and fee waivers are used to develop financial aid packages for students.
