An applicant’s financial need relative to the cost of
the degree programs is determined from the data submitted
on the FAFSA forms. Scholarship awards for full-time students
normally range from $1,000 to $15,000 per semester. These
awards may be supplemented by fellowship funds, campus employment
earnings, and federal loans. Awards are not automatically
renewed. Students who receive scholarships in their first
year must reapply in order to be considered for scholarships
in the second year. Returning students must demonstrate continued
need and must remain in good academic standing. Any student
receiving an institutional scholarship should consider applying
for a Federal Stafford Loan.
