Financial Aid

Financial Aid is intended to help students who might not otherwise be able to attend college. Although the primary responsibility for meeting college costs rests with the student and his/her family, it is recognized that many families have limited resources and are unable to meet the cost of a college education. Financial Aid programs have been established to provide assistance for students with documented financial need. In achieving this goal, the aid office must evaluate the family's financial ability to pay for educational costs in order to distribute limited resources in a fair and equitable manner.

The mission of the Financial Aid Office is to provide equitable access to higher education and the timely delivery of student aid funds through our commitment to empower students and their families to achieve personal, professional, and academic success by removing financial barriers and providing premier service.

2026–27 Financial Aid awards are temporarily delayed due to federal updates. As a result, there may be a delay in financial aid being available to cover Fall 2026 tuition and fees.

Please note: The Fall 2026 drop for non-payment deadline is August 7, 2026.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these updates. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
