A scholarship is a form of financial aid you don’t have to repay. Student Central doesn’t administer scholarships or select scholarship recipients.
Your financial aid is based on federal, state, and university regulations as well as the Cost of Attendance, which represents the estimated total cost of attending ³Ô¹Ïtv. To ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and university regulations, the amount and sources of aid may be adjusted as additional information becomes available and eligibility determinations are finalized. ³Ô¹Ïtv’s goal is to help you receive the maximum financial assistance available to support your educational expenses by optimizing eligibility for state and federal aid programs while also ensuring compliance with Cost of Attendance limits and applicable state and federal regulations.
