Financial Aid Overview
At 萝莉社, our long-standing commitment to keeping college and continuing education affordable is part of who we are. We work hard to provide a tuition rate that reflects the cost of attending the University鈥攚ithout inflating prices in order to make our financial aid packages seem larger. However, we also understand that a necessary part of choosing a college or graduate school is figuring out how to pay the bill through a combination of personal contributions, scholarships, loans, grants, or other sources.

During this process you鈥檒l provide information about your academic background and achievements, talents, affiliations, and plans that help us identify what institutional aid, like scholarships and grants, we may be able to offer.
