Scholarships and Grants
The Financial Aid Office offers many types of financial assistance to students while pursing their higher education goals. There are many types of financial assistance such as grants, scholarships, work study and loans which are from many types of sources such as federal and state government. Generally, scholarships and grants are free to apply and do not have to be repaid. All grants are based on financial need while most scholarships are based on merit. To apply for federal and state grants, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year.
Grants

Loans

Scholarships
