Financial Aid & Scholarships
All students interested in financial assistance should complete the following:
- FAFSA
- John and Maria Price College of Engineering Scholarship Application (ECE and PCE Scholarships)
Completing the above forms by their (priority) deadlines will ensure students are considered for all possible forms of assistance. Spring deadlines apply to the following Fall semester (for example, February 15th is the deadline for financial assistance beginning in the following Fall semester).
All three forms must be submitted every academic year for which a student wishes to receive assistance.
