Financial aid is money for college. It is provided by the United States taxpayers to ensure that everyone who wants a college education has the financial ability to pay for their college expenses.

Financial aid is also a partnership between you - the student - and the college that provides money to help pay college costs. If you receive financial aid, it is expected that you will enroll in courses needed to complete your chosen program, work hard at learning, and move responsibly toward successful completion of your educational goal.

We strive to assist you in a professional and timely manner. If at any time you have general questions about financial aid, please do not hesitate to contact me.
