Welcome to Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office is here to help make your education more affordable. If you're uncertain with the cost of your education, we will direct you to every federal and state student aid program that is designed to help you pay for schooling. Our team can walk with you through the financial aid process to help you feel assured about pursuing your educational goals without being weighed down by the costs.
Since the application process can take a number of weeks before funds are available for payment, students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible as of October 1st of the year for the subsequent fall semester.
