While scholarships are generally awarded based on academic achievement or special contributions to the University, federal grants are usually based on need. And for those who need a little help, they can be extremely useful when it comes to financing your education. To be eligible for these awards, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All prospective students are highly encouraged to apply since varying levels of aid are available to many different income brackets and family situations.
