Applying for financial aid

All applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships by the Admissions Committee during application review.

All applicants interested in learning their eligibility for additional forms of financial aid — including federal, state, and institutional aid in the form of grants, work study, and loans — must submit a financial aid application.
