Avila
University Awards
Avila University seeks to make our quality educational
programs affordable to all students. Families of different
means find Avila affordable because of
Avila’s commitment of institutional aid, in combination
with federal, state and private aid resources. Review the
information in this brochure to determine how Avila can be
affordable for your family.
Financial aid awards become official when a student has
been admitted, received a comprehensive financial aid
award letter and returned a signed copy of that letter to the
Office of Financial Aid. All Avila financial aid is renewable
as long as a student is enrolled full-time, meets renewal
criteria and/or continues to demonstrate financial need.
The value of an academic merit scholarship is determined at the time of
a student's admission to the University. Students may qualify
for the following academic merit schoarships and
may also be awarded aid from other programs to
assist with financing an Avila education.
*
Maximum award depends on timely filing of the FAFSA and demonstration
of financial need.
For information
regarding Federal or State funded financial aid options, please
highlight the "Scholarships grants and loans" link above
and select the appropriate item from the drop-down menu.
