Finding financial aid in these economic times

Many families have been expressing concerns with the state of today's economy, and the availability of financial aid.  I think we all are feeling the "pinch" this holiday season ... but also need to remember that the one thing you cannot over invest on is education.

Education at a small, private university like the University of New Haven can still be affordable.  Of course we all know education is not free ... but we have some great resources to help families make the cost of education affordable!!!

In addition to the scholarships and awards that are presented to students if they qualify at the time of acceptance, there are resources in various state offices, community organizations (Kiwanis Club, Rotary, Etc.), and businesses (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Coca-Cola).

Now is the perfect time to begin collecting information on scholarships that you may be eligible for. Check out some of the websites below and do your own free scholarship search!

Check out further information about student aid and loans at www.nslds.ed.gov , the U.S. Department of Education’s central database for financial aid! You may also wish to visit www.simpletuition.com or www.elmresources.com for more student loan options!

* Please note that these websites are not directly associated with the University of New Haven, but offer you the opportunity of additional scholarships that can be used at any college you choose to attend.
