Dear Students,
In an effort to keep you informed regarding updates and changes on student financial aid, we will periodically send a
financial aid newsletter to all students. Please take the time to read the information below, as it includes several very
significant changes to your student financial aid for the upcoming academic year 2013-2014, as well as future years.
We will continue to send newsletters as important information becomes available.
