Amounts can vary from year to year. Families must have their current accounts paid in full by June 20, 2024 in order to be considered for financial aid for the upcoming school year. Financial aid cannot be awarded if there is a past due balance. Students who withdraw are at risk of losing their initial financial aid award.
