Financial Aid & Scholarships

  • If need-based aid is not available, is there a feasible path undocumented students can take to pay for their education with stackable merit scholarships, loans and/or grants from your school?: Realistically, no - unless there is willingness to pay out of pocket for the remaining balance. Without eligibility for federal or state grants and federal loan funds, the path to having enough aid to cover is very steep.
  • Other financial aid information: If eligible, the FAFSA…if not eligible to complete the FAFSA we can provide a unique institutional form.
  • What would be the requirements for such scholarships and what would a student's chances of getting them?: Merit and/or financial need – over 90% of all students get something.
  • Are undocumented students eligible for need-based aid?: From institutional funds, yes.
