Finances

Each year, we award more than $80 million in financial aid and more than 5,000 scholarships valued at $17 million each year — that’s more than any public institution in the state.

Our generous scholarship and financial aid programs, coupled with tuition and fees that are already below the national average, make obtaining a premier college education actually affordable. And most importantly, we make applying for scholarships and financial aid easy and stress free.
