Site Navigation

From the Home Page the navigation bar takes you to each of the respective student service units within the Financial Aid Office: Undergraduates, Graduate and Professional, Undergraduate Scholarships, and Student Employment. When you click on each of the sections, you will notice that the color of the navigation bar changes with each unit. As you navigate through the site, the color is to remind you that you are in a particular place within the site.
