We recommend that all students apply for financial aid every year. You never know what you will be eligible for until you apply!
Special Reminders
There are two Financial Aid disbursements per semester for those with completed files at the beginning of the semester.
Disbursements happen on a weekly basis, as files are completed.
You will not be awarded for waitlisted classes, unless they are added before Census Date. We will not adjust awards for students with completed files after that date.
Summer is a non-standard term and is awarded differently than Fall and Spring semesters.
