Financial Aid Process

We use the Clarity Financial Aid Application to determine eligibility and calculate awards. Our Financial Aid Committee makes final decisions, communicated when enrollment agreements are shared.

Need-blind admissions: Students are admitted regardless of financial aid needs.

Need-based only: All aid is based on demonstrated financial need through Clarity—no merit scholarships offered.
