Financial Resources for Veterans

Undergraduate Students

At _{the undergraduate level, we sponsor an excellent program of institutionally-funded academic scholarships, need-based grants, and athletic grants, in addition to our participation in the major federal and state student aid programs. Parents may also consider additional financing alternatives through the Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS) and the TMS monthly payment plan. Learn more about undergraduate financial aid.}

Graduate Students

The office of financial aid administers several types of financial assistance for graduate students. Loan assistance is available through the federal government and private lenders. Assistantships are available through several academic and administrative departments. Additionally, individual departments offer a limited number of fellowships, scholarships, and grants to assist students with their education expenses. Learn more about graduate financial aid.
