How Do I Accept My Financial Aid?

Electronic award letter, what is this? The Student Financial Aid Office understands that school may not be the only piece of your life. Waiting for your award letter to come in the mail takes too long.  This is why we have developed an award letter that you may accept or decline electronically on any computer that has internet access 24 hours a day. Once your financial need is determined, we will be able to award funding such as grants and student loans you may be eligible for.  Aid is awarded in the following order: grants, scholarships, work-study, student loans for the full academic year.  Students that are awarded financial aid will be notified by mail with an Award Status Notification letter.  This letter will indicate that your financial aid award has been processed and is available electronically. Specific instructions are also given in this letter for students to navigate through the financial aid pages.  Don't worry....if you are not computer comfortable, we still have the option of a paper award letter version.
