Your Financial Aid Award Letters

You have just a few more steps left to secure your financial aid for college!

Once you have award letters from the different schools you applied to, you can review the available financial aid as well as total costs, which will be key pieces of information in deciding what school to attend. Need help comparing your award letters? View our page to help!

Your federal aid options might include Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, grants and scholarships. It is important to review each part of your package and determine if you’ve been awarded enough aid.
