Other Sources of Aid

While some sources of financial aid are awarded based on demonstrated need or merit, others are available to all students. These sources help students and families pay for a college education while lessening the impact of paying all at once.

 

Loan Programs

Loan programs are a resource to assist with educational expenses. Loans are available through federal programs and private educational loan providers.

 

Other Resources

Additional resources for students and families include:

• Installment Plan
• Student Employment on Campus
• Programs for Virginia Residents
• Post 9/11 GI Bill®

 

Do I Need to Qualify?

All students can apply for on-campus employment and loans.

Some students are offered Federal Work-Study or subsidized Direct Loans as part of the self-help portion of their financial aid packages, but the University's student employment and loan programs are other options for students who don't qualify for need-based aid.
