Confidentiality

Because financial aid applications reflect the family’s financial situation, all information received by Enrollment Services is held in strictest confidence. Financial aid records are protected in accordance with The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended. For a more complete explanation of this law, visit

Important notice:

Awards are subject to change
Offers of aid are extended on the assumption that the programs will be continued and that sufficient funds will be appropriated by the U.S. Congress. If, for some reason, one or both of these conditions are not met, it might become necessary to withdraw or alter the aid offer. If this should become necessary, you will be notified.

You will be required to repay any amount you are over awarded
An over award occurs when your total resources exceed your financial need. You should understand that the University reserves the right to adjust, both in type and amount, any financial aid award for which it is responsible.
