Financial Aid
Financing your college career is a collaborative effort โ merit scholarships, on one hand, help tackle the overall cost of your college degree, leaving financial aid to help cover the remaining balance.ย 100% of this year’s incoming classย received financial assistance, including scholarships, non-repayable grants, educational loans, and part-time work-study.
To be considered for any need-based financial aid (including grants and loans), you should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Payment Plans

These plans are available to all students and are as follows:
- 10-Month Plan (opens in May)
- Fall Plan (opens in May)
- Spring Plan (opens in October)
