Reliable & Stable Funding
Funding an education is a multi-year investment, and we help you plan like it. Continuously enrolled, full-time, first-year students who maintain satisfactory academic progress, can expect that the amount of university gift aid and scholarships you receive the first year is the amount you can expect for all four years.
Transfer students who are continuously enrolled full-time can expect that the amount of university gift aid and scholarships you receive the first year is the amount you can expect for your remaining years in a 4-year program.
