We strive to make your education as achievable and affordable as possible. Here are some of the resources to help you succeed, including information about financial aid for incoming students, as well as a list of our program-specific scholarships for learners.
Financial Aid
- Financial Aid helps you afford college costs. Here are the types of aid you can receive:
- Scholarships are merit-based awards you can get for your strengths, activities, academics, and more.
- Grants are free aid from the government that you don’t have to pay back.
- Loans are money borrowed from the government that you pay back over time, usually with interest.
- Work-study is employment for the university (like an on-campus job) that pays you directly.
- FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It helps to determine your family’s financial need to help you close the gap.
