Financial Aid for students who qualify
While the primary responsibility of paying for an education rests with the student and his or her family, the Educational Funding Department at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ is dedicated to making the cost of education more affordable for students who might not otherwise be able to attend.
Financial assistance comes from many sources – federal and state governments, private organizations, and À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. Financial assistance may include scholarships, grants, work-study employment, and loans. Most financial assistance is awarded based on the student’s financial need.
All new students are referred to an informational website that details the key questions to ask when choosing a school and the typical issues surrounding transferability of credit and consumer protection.
Grants & Scholarship Programs
Grant and scholarship funds are gift aid and do not need to be repaid. Grants are typically awarded based on financial need, school costs, and the student’s enrollment status. Scholarships are generally awarded based on merit. To access web links, special search tips and valuable information on general and program-specific scholarships which may be available to you, click the link below.
Federal Pell Grants
Grant amounts are determined by the federal government based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
