  Financial Aid  

Federal and State Assistance

All students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students who submit a FAFSA expand their financial aid opportunities, regardless of their demonstrated financial need.

Eligibility for grants, loans, and student employment further reduce your costs.
