We are committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need so you can be 100% focused on chasing your dreams and realizing your ambitions.

- Awards that range up to the full cost of tuition & fees, including no-loan packages for families who earn less than $75,000
- Merit-based academic scholarships and need-based scholarships
- Financial Aid Counselors who work individually with each family to understand any unique circumstances
- Start-up grants to help first-year students from low income backgrounds buy college necessities outside of tuition costs, such as textbooks, winter clothes, and a computer.
