In-Person

Work-study students are available to answer questions, explain requirements, and guide you through financial aid forms. While they’re happy to provide assistance, they cannot complete applications or fill out forms on your behalf. Students are responsible for completing and submitting all financial aid documentation themselves. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and support needed to successfully complete your financial aid requirements.
