Scholarship Opportunities

Please check with the Financial Aid Office early in your exploration and planning for further information.

In general, grants and loans can travel with you on programs approved by SRU. Under certain circumstances, they can be increased if you can document that your expenses are higher than they are for your studies here. Applicability of scholarships and waivers vary, so be sure to ask for details if you are a recipient of this type of aid.
