Financial Aid Is. . .
In its simplest definition,, financial aid is money
that helps you pay the cost of your education.
The money comes from several sources—the federal
or state governments, local lending institutions and,
often, the University. Aid is available as grants
(awards that need not be repaid!, loans (awards
that must be repaid), scholarships and/or work-study
assignments. Specific programs are listed on the
reverse of this page.
Prospective students should apply for aid at
the same time that they apply for admission;
con tin iling students must reapply each year.
