What
is
Financial
Aid?
Financial
Aid is
any
resource
that is
available
to
assist
you and
your
family
with
paying
for your
cost of
attendance.
Financial
aid
includes
scholarships
and
grants
awarded
by Briar
Cliff
University,
the
federal
and
state
governments,
and
private
scholarship
organizations.
Financial
aid also
includes
student
loans
provided
by the
federal
government,
state
government
or
private
lenders.
Federal
or State
Work
Study
funds,
which
are
awarded
on the
basis of
financial
need,
are also
considered
financial
aid.
First-time
freshmen
are
considered
automatically
for
Briar
Cliff
Scholarships
and
Awards
by
completing
the
admission
process.
Don't
assume
you are
not
eligible
for
financial
aid
because
your
family
has a
certain
income
level.
Many
factors
other
than
income
are used
to
determine
your
ability
to
contribute
to the
cost of
your
education.
The
important
thing to
remember
is that
there
are many
ways to
finance
your
education.
Meeting
the Cost
of a
Great
Education
A
college
education
requires
a
significant
financial
commitment.
That's
true of
any
university,
including
Briar
Cliff
University.
But, if
you
believe
the
adage,
"Where
there's
a will,
there's
a way,"
you
should
contact
us. You
deserve
a
superior
education,
and we
believe
we can
help you
make it
happen.
There
are a
variety
of ways
to
finance
your
education.
At Briar
Cliff,
we offer
scholarships,
grants,
loans
and
student
employment.
Don't
assume
that
just
because
your
family
has a
certain
income,
you
aren't
eligible
for
financial
aid.
Many
factors
other
than
income
are used
to
determine
your
ability
to
contribute
to the
cost of
your
education.
You may
also be
eligible
for
merit-based
scholarships.
Most
students
are
awarded
a
combination
of
scholarships,
grants,
work
study
and
loans.
You may
accept
or
decline
these
sources
of
assistance
as you
see fit.
