Welcome to the Financial Aid Office
The Financial Aid Office is here to make higher education more accessible. Our staff is happy to assist students throughout the financial aid process, from the initial submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Maryland State Financial Aid Application (MSFAA), to helping you understand a financial aid award package, or explaining policies and procedures that impact eligibility.
The information on this website serves as a resource to help you through the process of obtaining financial assistance to pay for college. Use the navigation options below for detailed information about the many financial aid opportunities available. The Financial Aid Roadmap serves as a helpful reference as you navigate the process.
We are committed to making the financial aid process clear and accessible. Please contact us directly should you have questions. You can reach us via email, phone, or in person.
