Meeting with a Financial Aid Counselor
All students are assigned a Financial Aid Counselor to assist them through the process of applying for Financial Aid. No appointment is necessary-students are served on a first come-first serve basis. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., there is one counselor available to speak with any student that needs assistance. All counselors are available to speak to students either in the office or on the phone from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on a first come-first serve basis. If a phone message is taken, counselors will do their best to return your call within 24 hours. Students who prefer to see another counselor other than the one assigned may do so.
