Financial Aid
Financial aid award decisions are made after careful consideration of a student’s application for assistance. Eligibility for financial aid is based on financial need. Need is determined by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), as determined by the federal needs analysis formula using the financial information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), from the Cost of Attendance. In calculating need, the Financial Aid Office attempts to consider all aspects of a student’s financial circumstances and attempt to meet the need for aid through a package of assistance, generally consisting of unsubsidized loans and, when applicable, merit-based awards; i.e., assistantships and fellowships. Need-based financial aid programs are available to matriculated students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who are enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Merit-based programs are open to all matriculated students.

- Federal Direct UnsubsidizedStafford Loans – Eligible students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year. Interest accrues while the student is in school and during periods of deferment.
