Scholarships

A scholarship is financial aid that does not need to be repaid. Scholarships are merit-based, which means they are offered based on merit or achievement in a specific area. You can receive scholarships through ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç or outside organizations online or by contacting them. Please check or other scholarship search websites as resources.

Grants

A grant is financial aid that does not need to be repaid. Federal, State, and Institutional grants are types of need-based aid, meaning they are given based on financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a self-help financial aid program. It is awarded to eligible students with need but is only guaranteed if the student obtains on-campus employment. FWS is intended to help pay college living expenses while providing the student with an opportunity to gain valuable work experience. Please note: Students do not need to be eligible for FWS to obtain an on-campus job.  All on-campus jobs are open to all students, with or without FWS.

In addition to need-based aid listed above, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç offers military programs such as ROTC, TAP, and VA benefits (including Chapter 30, 31, 33, 35 & 1606, and Yellow Ribbon).

Loans

A loan is financial aid that must be repaid with interest. There are student loans that require Financial Aid need as determined by the FAFSA.  There are also non-need-based loans that are offered by completing the FAFSA or Private student loans.
