Financial Aid

Getting the Money You Need for School

According to the U.S. Department of Education, more than half of all undergraduate and post-secondary students receive some type of financial assistance to help them pay for school.

Financial aid for your education is available from a variety of sources, such as federal grants, Stafford loans, PLUS loans, scholarship programs, private sources, student employment opportunities, and sometimes even employer assistance programs. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with, and research all of the financing options available, so that you can determine what works best for your individual needs.

The following sections will help you gain more information about financial aid, answer your questions, provide you with resources for details about financial aid, and assist you in applying when you are ready.
