Other Types of Aid

Many other offices on campus that fund students pass their funding through the Financial Aid Office. Things such as Workforce and WorkFirst funding, and Athletic and Department Scholarships are administered through their respective offices even though the money will show up on your Financial Aid Award Letter and will disburse like other aid.

You should direct questions about funding from these entities to their respective offices rather than the Financial Aid Office for the most prompt service.

Worker Retraining Grant: Eligible students pursuing technical training may qualify for up to $4,000 per quarter in grants and other services.
