Financial Aid for Technology

Financial aid recipients may request for the cost of purchasing a computer to be added to their estimated Cost of Attendance. This may or may not result in additional financial aid being offered. Aid offered may be in the form of a grant that does not need to be repaid, or a loan that must be repaid depending on individual student eligibility and financial need determined through the financial aid application.
