Financial Aid

The program awards merit-based and need-based scholarships to about two-thirds of all applicants, ranging from 10-100% of tuition cost. Financial aid comes directly from the Department of Education.

If you apply by the January deadline, you will be automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. Research and teaching assistantships and other work opportunities are also available to help offset the program costs.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents may be eligible to borrow funds through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. Candidates applying for need-based financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online.
The College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile is another tool we use to determine financial need. You can also include information about your family’s special financial circumstances.
