Other Options to Fund Your Education
Removing cost barriersIf your family's resources and your financial aid awards are not enough to cover the full cost for the year, you have other funding options to consider. If you haven’t done so already, we strongly encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov to maximize your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid.
