Financial Aid: Financial Need

Financial need is determined by the following formula:

Cost of Attendance - Estimated Family Contribution = Financial Need

Once your financial need is determined, the Office of Financial Aid will attempt to fill it with different types of available awards, including grants, scholarships, work study, and need-based loans. Because funding is limited, we may not be able to fill your entire financial need. The remainder can be filled with other types of loans.
