Financial Resources

Tuition remission, grants and scholarships specifically for part-time and nontraditional students are essential to helping students afford a college education. The Federal Work Study Program is often not an option for students who already work full-time and have family obligations. By making more funds available to non-traditional students, we are improving the chance they will complete their degrees and investing in a more educated workforce and stronger economy.
