How is financial need determined for scholarships?

Financial need is determined based on the information that is entered into the online Scholarship Application. All applicants are encouraged to complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.

Students will be asked to upload a copy of their FAFSA confirmation e-mail that shows their estimated Student Aid Index (SAI), which will be used to determine financial need. For more information on the 2026-27 FAFSA form, please visit their website.
