Our Philosophy
The College offers a variety of financial aid programs to assist students in meeting the cost of their education. We believe, however, students and their families have the primary responsibility for providing educational funding to the extent of their economic resources.
Any student needing assistance with the cost of higher education should apply for financial aid. Because all federal aid is based on need, we encourage all students to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Students should submit a FAFSA prior to March 15 for the fall semester and by November 15 for the spring semester if they wish to be considered for any financial aid program. Students who have completed the process by these dates will receive an earlier aid decision. Financial aid applications are accepted throughout the entire academic year. We strongly encourage students to complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA via the U.S. Department of Education website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
What is Financial Aid?
Financial aid refers to any funds available to students and/or their parents to help offset the cost of education. Funds come from private, government, and institutional resources. Aid includes scholarships, grants, work-study opportunities, and loans.
The Financial Aid Office provides a variety of information to help prepare you to fund your education including a Consumer Information Booklet. Financial Aid professionals are available to discuss personal financial situations and all possible avenues of financial assistance.
