The type of summer funding a student is eligible for is determined by information from a student's FAFSA or CADAA. The student’s financial aid offer will be determined by their Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Factors that may affect financial aid eligibility include income level, enrollment status, residency, grade point average, and aid used during the regular academic year.
Admitted or continuing students must log in to MyAwards to view their aid package and requirements.
Types of aid offered may include:
