H. FINANCIAL AID

All aid figures reported here for degree-seeking undergraduates and freshmen, as defined by the institution, not IPEDS. Non need-based aid is defined as aid for which need is not a criterion for awarding, and may be given to students with or without demonstrated need. If such aid is awarded to needy students, that component of the aid which reduces the student's total need is considered need-based and is included in the need-based aid totals. (Source for financial aid data: Office of Institutional Research and Reporting special reports)
