Types of Aid

As an admitted first-year student, you will automatically be considered for University-wide scholarships. Grants and loans are also available based on financial need.

Despite the many options, we know that navigating financial aid can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve streamlined the process, making it simple and transparent.
