Financial Aid
Investigating the financial options available to you may prove to
be an effective cost-saving measure and, in some cases, may help
narrow the list of schools to which you apply. Financial assistance
ranges from loans to fellowships to scholarships. You will find
that some assistance is allocated on the basis of need while other
funding is awarded for merit, special achievements, or service to
the institution. Knowing what is available from governmental or
private sources will enable you to capitalize on every opportunity
to receive financial support.
Some deadlines for financial assistance may be earlier than the
admissions deadlines. Pay close attention to eligibility requirements,
application procedures, and deadlines. The faculty and staff at
the institutions you are considering are excellent resources for
learning about financial assistance programs.
