Each student should meet with the Financial Aid Officer for an advisement appointment in order to discuss the most suitable financial aid package.
Financial aid is distributed to students based on their computed financial need as determined by the financial aid applications filed. Your "financial need" is the difference between the cost of education (tuition, fees, room and board, transportation and personal expenses) and the total contribution expected from your family. Your family contribution is based on an analysis of the financial aid application. Among the items considered are family income, the number of family members, number in college, assets, and your own resources such as savings and Veterans Benefits for which you may qualify.

There are two available financial aid packages:

 Tuition Assistance Program
The Federal PELL Grant Program
