This webinar, hosted by Kelly Herron Woolf from the Admissions Office and Shirleyne McDonald from the Financial Aid Office, provided guidance to admitted students about financial aid offers and next steps. Shirlene explained the types of financial aid available, including merit-based scholarships (Presidential and Dean Scholarships) and need-based aid (grants, loans, and work-study), as well as cost of attendance for the 2026-2027 academic year. The webinar covered how financial aid is calculated, awarded, and dispersed, including the requirement to complete the FAFSA annually and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Key deadlines were discussed, including the May 1st deposit deadline and FAFSA renewal deadline for continuing students. The session addressed questions about work-study eligibility, scholarship renewals, study abroad funding, and appeal processes for financial aid adjustments.
