Cost of Attendance
- Cost of Attendance FAQ: Overview, current costs, comparisons, how it's calculated and special circumstances.
Tuition Promise
The University does not have a tuition promise; rather, we commit to locating the
maximum grant funding possible for each student based on their individual circumstances.
Financial Aid Determination
A variety of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs provide funding
options regardless of family income. Type and amount of financial aid is determined by
considering the total Cost
of Attendance, family financial resources, and the number of people in the family.
All students are reviewed for the maximum grant eligibility before loans are offered.
The typical financial aid package will include a combination of awards that will meet
the estimated cost of attendance.
Financial Aid and Scholarship Notification
The majority of scholarship offers will be made during the months of March and April
2012. Financial Aid notifications will begin in early April 2012. Information
regarding awards will not be disclosed over the phone.
