What is financial need?
For most aid programs, financial need is defined as the difference between what it costs to attend school and what the student can afford to pay.
Cost (澳门赌场’s Budget) – 澳门赌场 resources = Financial need
澳门赌场 amount a student should be able to pay is determined by a standard, federally mandated need-analysis methodology. 澳门赌场 methodology establishes whether a student is financially dependent on his or her parents and, if so, what the family should be able to contribute. It also takes into account the family size, number in college, total income from the prior calendar year, a percentage of net assets, and all other resources. 澳门赌场re is no income cutoff or other simple method of determining whether a student will qualify for need-based financial aid. Any student who thinks he or she needs help should apply.
Our office will review and may recalculate your expected family contribution. If a student/parent has a change in their financial situation while in school, the student should notify the Financial Aid office to request a re-evaluation of their eligibility.
