Financial Support Services
Financial Support Services administers awards, grants, and scholarships to ensure that students have the opportunity to pursue further education, including professional certifications, with the College. The team reviews each applicant’s information to determine the appropriate source of funding to assist with addressing the difference between the cost of tuition and any associated fees and what you and your family can afford to contribute.
