Financial aid programs are designed to supplement the resources of the family. Our Student Financial Services Department uses a required formula specified by the U.S. Department of Education that compares the cost of your education to family size, income and assets. Using that formula, we can determine how much of the estimated cost of your education should be financed by you or your family and how much should be paid for using aid programs.

There are numerous resources available, both through our Student Financial Services office and on the Web, that can help you get started on the financial aid process. By familiarizing yourself with these resources, you can save yourself time and effort as you put together a plan to financially meet your educational goals.
