Types of Aid

Our goal is to ensure you understand the resources available to help supplement the costs of your education. Along with scholarships or assistantships/fellowships from your academic department, loans and work-study are commonly included in aid offers. Your financial aid offer will likely include a combination of these different types of aid.
