Criteria for Financial Aid
- Financial need
- Submission of financial aid application by preset deadline

- Cost of attendance
Analysis of the criteria used to award financial aid
Financial aid packages for students are developed based on a Equity level packaging philosophy. The Student's ISIR must be received by a priority deadline. Formulas are developed to determine a maximum gift aid cap based on a function of the student's COA, EFC and classification. The student is reviewed for gift aid first and then the remaining need and EFC number are reviewed to determine eligibility for self help aid.
