Graduate School Financial Aid
Financial Aid is a source of monetary support provided by various agencies (federal, state, and local governments, universities, community organizations, and private corporations or individuals) to help students meet the cost of attending college. It includes gift-aid (grants and scholarships) and self-help (loans and student employment).
Grants are awards based on financial need that do not have to be repaid.
Scholarships are nonrepayable awards that may be based on merit, special talent, and/or financial need.
Student loans are available to students and/or their parents at low interest rates with the option to defer payment until after graduation or after the student drops below half-time.
Applying for financial aid is a lengthy process. Your application will not be reviewed until ALL documents required to complete the file are received in the Financial Aid Office.
