Financial aid is always available to your family – whether you’re a new or a continuing student. Our knowledgable financial aid counselors are here to help you navigate the financial aid application process. And if you have any questions- just ask us. We’re here to help.

Assistance is available in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and employment opportunities. Regardless of income, residence or academic credentials, students should apply for financial aid. Some students who believe they are ineligible for assistance learn that they are eligible.

If you need assistance, make an appointment with one of our counselors!
