Financial Aid FAQs

What does my financial aid pay for?


Your financial aid will first be applied to your tuition, required course fees, and on campus housing charges. Only Center Square and University Village are considered on campus housing.

If you would like your aid to automatically cover additional charges such as bookstore purchases and student health insurance, you must complete the Federal Financial Aid Authorization.
