Scholarships

The Office of Financial does not award scholarships.  However, if you are receiving any financial aid from our office, you will first want to contact us directly with the amounts of your scholarships. Outside monies may affect your original financial aid award, so we would like to inform you of any changes as early as possible. You can expect to receive a revised award letter with any changes made to your award caused by outside scholarships.

These links are intended to be used as a resource to help you find additional funds for your education.
