Financial Aid

Whether you're just starting out in college, or continuing your college career, you're probably concerned about paying for college! Unless you can afford to pay for everything yourself, you will need to find other sources of funding to cover college costs, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, tools, and living expenses. 

  • Our financial aid department will help you with student loans and grants. The first step is filing the FAFSA. Financial Aid Application Process
  • Make sure you file the FAFSA every year, not just your first year in college.
  • Even if you don't think you will qualify, you should still . You never know!
