The Office of Financial Aid is dedicated to helping students obtain university financial assistance to cover the cost of attendance.
Students can apply for grants and loans through the Office of Financial Aid, but there are encouraged to seek other types of aid, in the form of scholarships, to reduce load costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
Loans and scholarships are based on eligibility of student.
The Student Guide The Student Guide is the most comprehensive resource on student financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education. Grants, loans, and work-study are the three major forms of student financial aid available through the Department's Student Financial Assistance office. Updated each award year, The Student Guide tells you about the programs and how to apply for them.
The Student Guide 2009-2010 available in English and Spanish, is for the July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009 award year. You may also request a copy from the Federal Student Aid Information Center at the toll-free number below.
To apply for federal financial aid, and to apply for many state student aid programs, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Electronic versions of the FAFSA make applying for financial aid faster and easier than ever.
