Ways to afford college
Financial aid is offered to degree-seeking students who complete a FAFSA or TASFA based on their eligibility. You must be enrolled in at least six credit hours each semester to be eligible for financial aid. Funding for grants and work study is limited so it is important for students to complete their FAFSA or TASFA as early as possible. You should also consider applying for university scholarships as well as searching for outside scholarship opportunities.
