Financial Need: Cost of Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by FAFSA.

Unmet need: Cost of Attendance minus EFC minus aid awarded.

Unmet cost: Cost of Attendance minus aid awarded (shown on electronic award notification).

Once the EFC and financial need have been determined, the student’s information will be reviewed. The student will be offered an aid package that may consist of grants, scholarships, outside assistance, loans and/or Federal Work-Study. A student’s aid package, who is receiving federal, aid may not exceed Cost of Attendance.

Students are responsible for reporting to the Financial Aid Office all assistance received from outside sources, as federal law requires that all outside assistance be considered as a part of the financial aid package. These types of assistance include such aid as Veteran’s Benefits, outside scholarships, military or corporate tuition assistance, vocational rehabilitation or other state aid. Federal guidelines require that a student not exceed the Cost of Attendance in the amount of aid they receive.

The maximum amount of institutional and endowed aid that can be awarded is tuition, as long as the aid (all types) does not exceed the cost of attendance. Due to federal regulations, scholarships awards may be affected if you are receiving federal and/or state financial aid.

A student’s loan amount is determined as a part of the aid package. A student’s loan eligibility is based on factors that include annual loan limits, unmet need, and federal aggregate limits. In addition, if a student has less than an academic year remaining in the degree program, the loan is prorated, per federal guidelines.

A student who completes the academic requirements for a program but does not yet have the degree is not eligible for further federal aid for that program.
