The Financial Aid team is hard at work to deliver the full financial aid award package you need to keep moving forward with your education. Please contact our office with any questions!

You can learn more about the financial aid process with our FAFSA: Fact & Fiction and FAFSA Guide.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, also known as the Working Families Tax Cuts Act or OBBBA, changed several federal financial aid programs beginning July 1, 2026.

The changes may affect federal student and parent loan limits, Graduate PLUS Loan eligibility, Pell Grant eligibility and the amount students may borrow while enrolled less than full time. The effect will vary based on the student’s program, enrollment level and federal borrowing history.

Review the new rules and contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid before changing your enrollment or making borrowing decisions.

Scholarships are one of the best ways to take the value of your degree even higher. Start exploring our scholarship options for freshmen and transfers students now.
