Financial Aid & Scholarships
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and increased health and safety measures, we are offering remote
financial aid and scholarship services to students. Financial aid advising is available
via Zoom, phone, and our chat bot, Penny.
Financial aid staff are working diligently to process applications and forms and award students’ grants
and scholarships in a timely manner during the campus closure.
