Your education is an investment in your future. We make every effort to provide our students with the financial assistance programs to attend college, but also encourage our students to seek out other outside resources or scholarship opportunities to help with their educational costs and, if applicable, reduce debt. Searching for and applying for scholarships is certainly one of the best ways to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporting Outside Scholarships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All scholarships are considered as assistance when calculating the financial aid offer. Be sure to promptly report scholarships or other resources to the financial aid office. Scholarships that typically need to be reported are from the high school, sports clubs, community foundations, etc. If the student’s scholarships are unknown at the time you\u200br financial aid offer was made, adjustments may need to be made to the offer as financial aid is highly regulated.. Use the link below to report your outside scholarships:\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
