Ways to afford college

Financial aid is offered to degree-seeking students who complete a FAFSA or TASFA based on their eligibility. You must be enrolled in at least six credit hours each semester to be eligible for financial aid. Funding for grants and work study is limited so it is important for students to complete their FAFSA or TASFA as early as possible. You should also consider applying for university scholarships as well as searching for outside scholarship opportunities.

Scholarships

Institutional scholarships are available to help with the cost of college. They are awarded based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, volunteer services, employment and financial need. .

Grants

Grants are funds that, in most cases, don’t need to be paid back. Both federal and state grants are available if you meet the eligibility requirements and demonstrate financial need.
