Financial aid is money provided to students in order to pay for college expenses. There are several types of financial aid, and most students have access to at least some form of this aid. Information about eligibility, as well as applying for and receiving financial aid can be found on One Stop.
The Office of Undergraduate Education has a Net Price Calculator, which provides an estimate of need-based financial aid you might qualify for as a full-time undergraduate student.
