Financial Aid
We know financial aid and scholarships mean a lot to our students and their families, so we're here to help you get through the steps.
If you're looking for financial aid, you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Our Financial Aid Office can answer your questions about the FAFSA, as well as grants, work study jobs, loans, and scholarships as you look for ways to make college affordable. We'll do our best to help you.
