Financial Aid - About Us

What is Financial Aid?

Financial aid is money provided to college students in a variety of forms to help pay for the cost of a college education. The purpose of financial aid is not limited to tuition and college fee costs, but can be applied to basic costs of a student who is attending college such as books & supplies, room & board, transportation, and personal necessities. Financial aid is generally provided to assist with the cost of going to college and is NOT intended to relieve or replace a student's or parent's ability to pay a portion of or all of the cost.

The Financial Aid Office offers many services to our students including financial aid counseling, personal finance counseling, financial aid awareness and FAFSA workshops. Our Financial Aid Staff will answer your questions in person and over the phone (with consideration for student privacy as regulated by FERPA). We are here to help you fund your cost of education. Remember: YOU are in charge of you education; WE are here to help you finance it.
