Our comprehensive needs-based student aid program makes higher education a reality for many students 鈥 in fact, 75% of our undergraduate students receive financial aid. To make higher education a reality for students who would otherwise be unable to attend, 国产探花 provides more than $20 million in financial aid annually. Financial aid eligibility at the time of application is based upon a calculation of financial need. Once enrolled, continued financial aid is contingent upon satisfactory academic progress and maintaining a minimum threshold of enrollment.
