Student Financial Services provides instruction on the processes for applying, securing, and maintaining eligibility for financial resources to meet educational costs, and ensures that every student is treated with the highest degree of professionalism, confidentiality, honesty and integrity. It offers both remote and in-person services to students. Please check the schedule on our website for in-person and virtual hours. We have also established a secure portal on our website where sensitive documents can be loaded.

Eligibility for most assistance is based upon demonstrated financial need. Financial need considers the average cost of attending college and the student aid index (SAI). The SAI is determined by a formula established by the Department of Education and the U.S. Congress. This is calculated by the federal government when you file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). By completing the FAFSA, you are actually applying to several different financial aid programs. The staff is here to assist students in the application process and match fund sources to students based on eligibility requirements. Updated information is maintained on the website.
