What types of financial aid are available?
Financial aid awards typically include a mix of institutional/merit scholarships, Federal Work-Study, federal loans, and other types of loans. Though you will not be eligible for work-study in your first year, you will be given priority for consideration in your second year, based on qualifying FAFSA data. NOTE: Those who have served in the military should find out if they are eligible for veterans educational benefits by completing the checklist linked from Columbia University’s Veteran Affairs site. Likewise, those who have completed a term of service with AmeriCorps should contact AmeriCorps directlyto see if they are eligible for the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award.
