Paying for College

College is an investment in you

We're here to ease the cost of your education.

College is an important investment in your future. Our Financial Aid staff is here to guide you through the process of paying for your education. In fact, most of our students pay little or even no tuition at all.

Aside from Federal Pell Grants, we work hard to make sure you have options when it comes to your financial aid package. We have a wide variety of programs and scholarships that help eliminate your out-of-pocket costs.
