Applying for Aid

Applying for Merit-based Aid - All merit-based aid is awarded through the Johnson Scholarship program.

Applying for Need-based Aid -  The Financial Aid Office will collect information on the family's financial situation to make a determination regarding eligibility for need-based aid.

  • If your parents do not reside in the United States, the CSS Profile is the only application required to apply for need-based financial aid.
  • If your parents do reside in the United States, you should follow the same steps as United States citizens. Details can be found under Applying for Need-Based Aid and Deadlines and Dates.

We suggest that you telephone the Financial Aid Office for discussion of complex questions regarding financial assistance as time does not allow long and detailed discussions of questions by fax or e-mail. Simple questions and documents may be transmitted via e-mail or fax, respectively.
