Apply for Government-backed Assistance
Financial aid can come from a variety of sources, including federal loans and grants, and state loans, grants and scholarships. The Financial Aid office will use the information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal student aid.
