We have highly motivated you to apply for grants and exterior resources for financing to enhance your funding.

If a student is successful in receiving a grant or external financing, that amount may replace a portion or all of the financing offered in the letter of admission. In many cases, however, the student will receive more than the initial financing offer. Most suggestions for financing are created by the academic team at the time of admission and accepted by the Dean of students.
