Financial Aid Information

It is important to talk to a financial aid advisor at the college/university that you are considering attending. Regardless of your family income level, most colleges, universities and community/technical colleges are prepared to help you afford the benefits of an excellent education. More than 90 percent of students this year will receive grants, work-study, loans, and scholarships. The first step in financing an education is careful budgeting and planning. Whatever institution of higher learning you decide to attend, you must see a financial services advisor at the Office of Student Financial Assistance and Planning; they can assist you and answer any questions.
