Pause of Federal Financial Assistance Programs Update

The University has released the following statement on 1/28/25 regarding the pause and student financial aid. Based on this statement the pause will not impact current federal student loan disbursements and the origination of new loans. We will proceed with business as usual until further updates and guidance are provided.

  • As clarified in guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the temporary pause does not affect Pell Grants, federal student loans or GI Bill payments, allowing our mission of access and excellence to continue without interruption.

The University will continue to monitor this situation closely and an announcement will be sent if there are financial aid implications.  Updates can also be found here.
