Tuition & Aid
Your College Tuition: Less Complicated, More Manageable
Education might be one of the biggest financial investments of your life. But with financial aid, there’s more than one way to make it more manageable.
You’ll have an admissions advisor to walk you through every step (including the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA®) and give you individual advice about all your affordability options.
