Scholarships & Financial Aid
Types of Scholarships and Aid
We know that understanding scholarships and figuring out how to pay for college can be overwhelming—but we’re here to help make it clear, manageable, and possible.
Merit Scholarships
Financial awards granted to students based on their academic, artistic, athletic, or other abilities, regardless of financial need.
Institutional Scholarships
Scholarships that are funded directly by the University. They are often used to support students who meet specific criteria.
Tuition Discounts
Reductions applied to the standard tuition rate, often through the resident state or state agreements, lowering the cost of attendance.
Apply For Aid
Learn how to complete the FAFSA or CASFA to access financial aid and scholarships.
