Awards

When will I receive a financial aid award notification?

Students who have been admitted to the University will be packaged for financial aid when the Financial Aid Office has received valid FAFSA results from the Department of Education and any necessary documentation is completed. Students will be mailed notification when their award letter is ready to be accepted on ARROW.

What is an award letter?

An award letter details the financial aid a student is eligible to receive. All financial aid awards are a combination of gift aid (i.e. scholarships and grants) and self-help (i.e. loans and work study). The University's Financial Aid Office will prepare a financial aid package for each admitted student. Your award letter is an estimation based on current FAFSA results and federal/state regulations. Your awards may change with any new information submitted, at which time a revised award letter will be sent.

I plan to attend during the summer term, but when I got my award letter, it only shows an award for fall and spring semesters. Why?

Financial aid for summer is awarded separately. Generally, we offer your maximum eligibility for fall/spring. If you plan to attend during the summer and accept all the aid offered to you for fall/spring, you may have no remaining eligibility left for summer. We review summer aid eligibility beginning in April after you have registered for summer term.
