* Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Exit Loan Counseling
Upon graduation or withdrawal from the University, you must complete the federal Exit Loan Counseling requirement.
Payment Options
After your aid has been finalized and credited to your bill, you will be responsible for the remaining balance. There are a number of ways to help meet the difference.
Private Education Loan Disclosures
Free or lower-cost Title IV federal, state or school student financial aid may be available in place of or in addition to a private education loan. The terms and conditions for federal loans may be more favorable than private loans. To apply for Title IV federal grants, loans and work study, submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at
www.fafsa.ed.gov, or by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID, or from the school's financial aid office. A private education loan may reduce eligibility for free or lower-cost federal, state or school student financial aid. You are strongly encouraged to pursue the availability of free or lower-cost financial aid with the school's financial aid office.
