The average financial aid award for the academic year 2023-2024 was $66,335. Our financial aid meets 100% of determined need, and consists of grants (which do not need to be repaid) and the expectation that students will work in a part-time College job, if eligible. Our financial aid decisions are loan-free, however, your family might choose to borrow a loan to pay some educational expenses.
