The mission of the Office of Financial Aid is to develop and administer aid funds in order to provide financial assistance to students on the basis of financial need, and to provide rewards for past academic excellence and incentives for future achievements.

The Office of Financial Aid’s primary goal is to use its resources to help attract and maintain a student body that will enrich our community and advance the educational goals of our students. Additionally, we aim to ensure that students who aspire to attend the University will not be prevented from enrolling or graduating solely for lack of financial resources.

Our student-focused staff works to provide planning and advising services that will assist our students and their families to plan wisely for education expenses by evaluating their existing resources and preparing them to manage any debt that arises from obtaining educational loans.

The office will focus on providing quality customer service. Quality service will be defined in terms of responsiveness to students and their families expressed needs, accuracy and timely delivery of funds and compliance with federal and state regulations.
