Scholarships and Financial Aid

We are the official office overseeing federal grants and loans, federal and state Work-Study, state grants, Texas Advance Commitment, and outside scholarships. Our knowledgeable and accessible staff provide comprehensive information to students, their families, faculty and staff in a timely manner.

Compliance and Collaboration

We are the leading experts in scholarships and financial aid, ensuring compliance to federal and state regulations. We work with colleges and schools to determine aid, provide training, and support university goals.

Student Support

As student champions (for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students), we provide financial aid to help as many students and families as possible. We support students by assisting them in understanding their financial aid awards, one-on-one financial wellness sessions, financial literacy workshops, and understanding and applying for state and federal Work-Study opportunities.
