Financial Aid

Rockford University strives to provide a comprehensive program of scholarships, grants, loans and employment so that all qualified students can enjoy the benefits of a Rockford University education. Financial assistance is based on two criteria: financial need and individual student academic achievement.

Financial need is defined by regulation as the difference between the cost of attending Rockford University (tuition, room and board, books, supplies, personal expenses and transportation) and the amount of money students’ families are able to contribute toward educational expenses. This family contribution is calculated from information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

To be eligible for financial aid (which includes state and federal loans), a student must be enrolled in a minimum of six hours.
