Request Information

Need-Based Aid and Scholarships

To qualify for need-based scholarships, grants, loans, and federal work-study funds at �� University Regionals, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We recommend applying by the priority review deadline of Feb. 1 because some resources are limited and may run out. Missing this deadline does not disqualify you from financial aid; submit your FAFSA early to determine your eligibility. Merit-based scholarships are not dependent upon FAFSA information.

As an international student, it is not possible for me to work in a regular job. But �� gives me the chance to work as a student ambassador. I work part-time in a campus job and in return I get part of my tuition paid. Having the chance to earn a scholarship like the (Olivas Valor Award) is also important because it helps me with my expenses.

By the time I got the scholarship last fall, I was running out of options for financing my education. I was working 35 hours a week to pay for tuition and rent, and I couldn’t take out any more loans. The scholarship eliminated a lot of stress and allowed me to concentrate on school.
