Financial Aid

Student Support Services offers its members several financial aid opportunities. Applications are typically available at the beginning of the Spring trimester. Students will be informed by their mentors when applications are available. Applications can be obtained through the Student Support Services office, and will be posted here as they become available.

Scholarship Criteria

Basic eligibility for the scholarships are listed below. Awards for the second semester are contingent upon meeting certain criteria during the first semester that the scholarship is awarded. These scholarships, including the number of recipients and award amount, are based on the availability of funds.
