A completed financial aid application and adherence to the university's Satisfactory Academic Progress standards are required to receive institutional grant funds. Institutional grant funding is the primary means utilized to meet students' demonstrated need. Much of this is supported by dedicated fundraising efforts, generous gifts, and support of our endowment. Institutional grant award amounts are determined primarily by the information provided on the CSS Profile. As with any other need-based financial aid, eligibility for this funding may fluctuate from year to year based on income, assets, and household information.
