Financial Aid
Access and affordability are the two pillars of our financial aid program.
Our Office of Financial Aid is here to help you to find the assistance and resources you need to invest in your future, in a way that makes sense for you. By working together, we’ve helped 99% of our students with over $69 million in grants.
