Financial Aid

What is financial aid?  Financial aid helps you pay for college. This financial assistance can cover a range of expenses including tuition costs and fees, books and supplies, housing and food, and transportation.

There are different types of financial aid available including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans. Financial aid may award you a combination of these various types of aid. Visit the Financial Aid Programs page to learn more about the types of aid available, or check out the Scholarships page to apply for a scholarship.
