Steps for Applying for Aid

You need to be academically prepared to attend college, but you also need to be financially prepared.  Applying for financial assistance as soon as you are admitted is the first step in financial preparedness.

Other important information for applying for aid:

If you haven’t already, this is a good time to review the cost of attending UCA (tuition/fees, room/meals, books) to determine if the financial aid for which you are eligible is enough to pay your direct expenses.  If not, you may want to continue your private scholarship search, visit with a financial aid counselor to determine if there is other assistance for which you might be eligible or review payment plan options available through the UCA Student Accounts Office.
