Administering Aid to Qualified Students

Have You Completed Your FAFSA?

Funding Your Education

The Office of Financial Aid administers federal, state, institutional and private sources of aid in accordance with federal and state laws. The mission of our office is to inform students and parents about the various types of financial assistance available and assist them in securing the necessary financial resources to reach their educational aspirations.

In the majority of cases, federal and state financial aid resources are not sufficient to meet a student's expected tuition costs. Financial Aid is designed to assist only (not fully fund) your educational expenses.
