Understanding Your Ongoing Aid

Financial Aid makes every effort to keep aid for returning students consistent from year to year if a student’s need remains the same. However, many factors can influence a student’s financial aid eligibility, such as:

  • Differences in parents’ or student’s income compared to prior year
  • Change in number of family members
  • Change in reported asset holdings

To continue receiving aid, you must apply each year by the April 15 FAFSA deadline. Aid is based on need, academic progress, and availability of funds.

Most merit-based aid only requires students to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Some may require a specific GPA as listed in your original award letter.
