Tiffin University is Affordable
Tiffin University is one of the most affordable private colleges in Ohio. How can this be true? It's simple. We offer a whole host of ways our students can reduce costs and still gain the benefits of small classes taught by high-caliber faculty.
More than 90 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid that averages almost $10,000. This aid comes in many forms, including Tiffin University Grants and Scholarships, Federal and State Grants, Loans, and Work Study Programs.
It All Begins with FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starts the financial aid process. The Department of Education uses the data on the FAFSA form you submit to determine need and eligibility for Federal and State financial aid. Regardless of family income, all students and parents are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid by filling out the FAFSA, which can be obtained from high school guidance counselors, colleges, and the Office of Financial Aid at Tiffin University or on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Submit the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible.
The College Scholarship Process?
Some forms of financial aid are based on need or achievement. Begin your scholarship application process by visiting your high school guidance counselor during your sophomore and junior years. Application deadlines vary widely, so it is possible to be successful even early in your senior year. FASTWEB is a free Internet service that matches your responses on a short questionnaire with a scholarship database to identify grants and/or scholarships for which you may be eligible.
YEA!!! Your Electronic Award
By using Sallie Mae's Your Electronic Award (YEA), Tiffin can present financial aid award packages to its students online, speeding the notification process. YEA provides a comprehensive award package to students sooner, enabling them to make decisions and finalize arrangements in a timelier manner. The online award notification contains links to tools and resources to help students evaluate and obtain their preferred financing solutions. Award recipients simply respond electronically to the school to accept or revise the award.
Students will also receive notification about awards by postcard and e-mail messages, through your TU mailbox, and your Tiffin University e-mail account. You can access your award information through TU's PORTAL, myTU.
