Student Financial Aid

The Student Financial Aid Office supports the recruitment, retention and degree completion of a dynamic and culturally diverse student body, in preparation for a lifetime of personal and professional success. The office is located in the Faunce Student Services building and works closely with Bronco Express. We encourage you to visit Bronco Express first to take care of everyday University business; and, if your circumstances require further counseling, an appointment with a financial aid counselor in Faunce can be made.
