Returning

Most aid programs are based on the individual need of the applicant. Demonstrated financial need is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students are encouraged to apply for competitive scholarships each academic year by Feb. 1st. Most scholarships are based on the applicant’s academic or extracurricular record, while some are based on demonstrated financial need.
