Paying for College

When choosing a college, cost is often a deciding factor. We offer financial aid and scholarships to more than 90 percent of our undergraduate students upon admission. Discover the value of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó.

FAFSA

Federal Student Aid, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the largest provider of student financial aid in the nation. We encourage all students to apply for financial aid and scholarships by as soon as possible. When you complete your FAFSA you are also automatically considered for institutional scholarships. You may also check with your academic college for additional scholarship opportunities.

The FAFSA becomes available Oct. 1 each year. Priority deadlines vary by student type.
