Once all of the necessary forms have been received in the Financial Aid Office and your information verified, we will notify you of your eligibility for funds by an award letter, listing the aid for which you are eligible. Aid is only processed for returning students and accepted incoming students. Financial aid information received from students who have not been admitted will be held until such time as they are admitted. Notification of any scholarships will come separately.
