Financial Aid and Scholarship Information

There are two types of financial aid a student may receive:  merit-based scholarships (based on GPA, test scores, or involvement in an activity) or need-based aid. This page is dedicated to need based aid.

•  All students who seek financial aid will need to fill out a FAFSA form.
