Types of Financial Aid

Year Round Pell

Beginning summer 2018, Pell Grant eligible students can receive up to 150% of their scheduled Pell award each year. What does this mean for you? Visit the Year Round Pell page for more information.

There are four main types of aid available to you, each depending on your eligibility.

Grants

Grants are based on financial need and are funds that do not have to be repaid. Students must meet the eligibility requirements to qualify for grants. To apply for all grants you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Learn more about available grants.

Loans

Loans are funds that must be repaid with interest, usually after the student leaves college. You must meet the eligibility requirements to qualify for student loans. Student loans are a serious financial obligation, and we encourage you to be very careful with your student loan borrowing. It is very easy to incur a large student loan debt through these loan programs. For more detailed information regarding loans, please visit Federal Student Aid Loans

Student Employment

There are many paid job opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Not all positions require students to qualify for Federal Work-Study. Employment opportunities allow you to earn money to help pay educational expenses and gain skills that can be applied towards your future career.
