Limited resources prevent us from being able to provide institutional aid to students in the College of Business and Management. This is because:
- Tuition for undergraduates in the College of Business and Management is less than it is in Arts and Sciences, Education and Leadership, and Nursing. Therefore, students in the other three colleges need more financial aid.
- College of Business and Management programs are for working adults, who typically have resources from income and employer reimbursement. Students in the other three colleges usually don't work full time and don't get employer reimbursement, and hence, need additional resources to cover their costs.
Our mission continues to guide us. Thus, we will always strive to provide assistance and opportunities to those most in need and who may not otherwise be served.
