2. Once the application has been received it will be reviewed for completeness. If additional information is needed a Financial Aid team member will reach out to you.
3. Once your application is complete it will be submitted to the Financial Services Committee for review. This process can take 4-6 weeks so please ensure you have allowed for this when applying for your desired quarter.
4. Once the Financial Services Committee has made a decision you will be notified via email.

The Financial Services Committee reviews Institutional Financial Aid applications holistically in making their decisions. The Committee considers numerous factors about the application as well as relevant aspects of the University. The Financial Services Committee expects students to take responsibility for some of their tuition therefore, full tuition scholarships are not offered. Students determined to have the greatest financial need are required to pay a minimum of $250 USD per quarter, in addition to the costs associated with obtaining textbooks.
