In the current economic climate, students and their parents might feel the pinch more than ever when it comes to funding tuition.
Brenda Noblitt, assistant director of financial aid at MU, said circumstances often change for students during college.
The Financial Aid Office in Jesse Hall can provide students with information and assistance in obtaining grants, scholarships and student loans. Advisers are available to discuss money matters with students and refer them when necessary.
The process of obtaining aid is based primarily on a student’s financial situation, determined by the income of their parents or guardian.
The first important step to securing aid is completing the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid form. It can be accessed online. Students may be eligible for grants, loans and work study.
“Students should complete the FAFSA each year before our March 1 priority filing date," Noblitt said. “They can also complete the general scholarship application before MU’s priority filing date."
Here's an overview of the process of securing financial aid through loans, grants and scholarships.
