Real Resources: Financial Aid Options
Tiffin University understands that a college degree at any level can be expensive. At TU, we have a wide variety of options for financial aid to assist you as you complete your degree program. These are real resources that can have a real impact on your ultimate success!
What Is Financial Aid?
Financial Aid includes any funds provided to students to
assist in paying their costs of a college education. Funds include
scholarships, grants, employment, and student loans from the
federal and state governments as well as the University and private
organizations. The goal of financial aid is to make higher
education accessible to all.
Regardless of family income, all students are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office at Tiffin University.
Attention All Students: The 2007-2008 FAFSA is available to complete online. Just click on the above link. All students who wish to apply for financial aid for the 2007-2008 academic year (including Summer 2007), must complete this FAFSA as soon as possible. Your application must be completed and received by the federal processor no later than your last date of attendance, if that date is earlier than June 30, 2008. The last date of attendance can be the last day of a term, or the last day you attend class before withdrawing, whichever comes first.
