Grants are free money, based on eligible enrollment and financial need as determined partly through the FAFSA and TAP application processes.

Work-study is part-time work, mostly on campus, awarded based on eligible enrollment.

Scholarships are free money based primarily on academic merit and eligible enrollment. Many also have a financial need requirement. These are not awarded through our office. See our scholarships resource page for details.

Loan programs can be very helpful, but don’t request more than you really need. Most federal student loans are awarded based on eligible enrollment and financial need as determined through the FAFSA application process. Loans must be repaid in accordance with a variety of rules and regulations.

This site will explain tuition and fees cost, the billing process, payment options, refunds and frequently asked questions.
