Financial Aid Offers

Financial aid offers are determined based on the SAI. The types of aid awarded will vary with the individual student’s needs. In developing a financial aid offer, a basic calculation is used: Cost of attendance includes not only tuition, room and board, and fees, but also an average cost of books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. The SAI is generated by the federal government after processing your FAFSA. The SAI calculation takes into account the taxable & nontaxable income, assets, and family size for all FAFSA contributor's.  The SAI is used to determine the student’s financial need. It is not the amount that needs to be paid to the University. Students with extenuating family circumstances such as: death of a parent, loss of income, disability, etc., should schedule an appointment with the Office of Financial Aid.
