A college education is a solid investment that will likely pay for itself over a graduate’s lifetime. As with any major decision, planning and research is critical. We encourage all students to apply for financial aid to help make college education affordable. But we understand that filling out financial aid application can be daunting.  The Financial Aid Office is committed to helping you research all options to make your valuable education most affordable.
