Financial Aid

Most financial aid from ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø doesn¡¯t require a special application beyond applying to the college and completing the FAFSA.

See the types of financial aid that are available at ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø, including institutional scholarships, outside scholarships, grants, loans and more.

Admission of non-U.S. citizens to ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø is based upon overall academic strength as well as the financial ability to meet the cost of an ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø education. 

There are several options for paying out-of-pocket costs not covered by financial aid.

Merit-based scholarships and awards are a form of gift aid, awarded without regard for financial need, and do not need to be repaid. ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø offers merit-based scholarships and awards based on demonstrated academic achievement, talent, program of interest, and other criteria.

Organizations and businesses often offer scholarships, which typically do not need to be repaid, to both currently enrolled and prospective students to help with college expenses. Students apply directly through the organization. 

Students can help cover some college expenses by taking advantage of the many student job opportunities on- and off-campus. ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø posts on- and off-campus jobs and internships at Handshake.

If you are a veteran of U.S. military service, an eligible active-duty member of the military, or an eligible dependent, you may be eligible for Veterans Affairs (VA) Educational Benefits.

If a student has borrowed a Federal Direct Loan, the loan is serviced by one of a number of different service centers. If your servicer has not contacted you, please refer to the National Student Loan Data System to determine who is servicing the loans.

Students who have graduated, withdrawn, or dropped below half time begin their six-month grace period for Federal Direct Loan(s). Students are not required to make principal payments during this time, but it is advisable to consider making payments.

There may be situations in which borrowers are unable to make payments on their loans, in which case there could be eligibility for a deferment or a forbearance.

ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø students may have questions related to loans after graduation or leaving ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø. Here are some resources that may help.
