The Athletics Department is proud to offer athletics grant-in-aid in each of its 14 sports. Granting-aid amounts vary and are awarded based on a student-athlete meeting NCAA and University policies, regulations, and guidelines as well as demonstrating outstanding athletic talent. Athletic grants-in-aid shall only cover educational expenses (tuition, room, board, books, and student fees, etc.).

The NCAA has established team and individual limits regarding athletics’ grant-in-aid to student-athletes. Athletic grant-in-aid cannot exceed individual limits. When computing individual limits, all aid (federal and/or state assistance, academic awards, outside grants, etc.) received by the student-athlete is considered. If your financial-aid package exceeds individual limits, athletic grant-in-aid will be adjusted accordingly. The Athletics department will work closely with the Financial Aid Office in determining individual limits.

No student-athlete will receive financial aid awards over the full cost of attendance. Student athletes receiving full athletics' grant-in-aid will have their grant-in-aid amounts adjusted according to all other state and federal aid (Pell Grant, SEOG, etc.). The Federal Pell and SEOG grants will apply to your account first and your athletic scholarship will make up the difference.

To process athletic grant-in-aid awards, it is the policy of the Financial Aid department that students complete the financial aid process. All financial aid documents must be completed and turned to the satisfaction of the Financial Aid office. All students must complete this process unless it has been determined (within the student's first year) that he/she does not qualify for other aid.

To receive athletics’ grant-in-aid, a student athlete must meet all eligibility standards set forth by the NCAA and the University (refer to section on academic eligibility). Failure to meet eligibility standards will result in the Athletics Department revoking your grant award. All student-athletes receiving athletics’ grant-in-aid will receive a grant-in-aid form from the athletics department stating the amount of aid awarded and the terms of the contract. Please read this contract thoroughly before signing.

Coaches and/or the Director of Athletics will make the decision to renew, reduce and/or cancel athletics’ grant-in-aid. Students-athletes will be notified by July 1. All student-athletes will have the opportunity to appeal the grant-in-aid decision. A student who wishes to appeal any decision related to his or her financial aid shall submit a written request to the Financial Aid Office. The request should include the following information.
