Apply for financial aid
An important step in planning your finances is estimating how much money you're likely to have available to you for your universities studies. This is why we encourage you to apply for Financial Aid early - so that you will have the information you need to properly estimate your resources before the deadline to accept your offer arrives (consult your letter of acceptance on Minerva to view your confirmation deadline).
We strongly recommend applying within 30 days from the date of formal acceptance to the University as funding for this program is limited and offered on a rolling basis until resources are exhausted. The application officially closes on June 30th. For instructions and program details, consult Financial Aid.
