Financial Aid
Renee Volak, Director, Tilghman House, x3112
The services and resources of the Office of Financial Assistance are available to all students. Financial assistance awards are based on a student’s academic and extracurricular accomplishment and financial need. Over 80% of Drew students receive some form of financial assistance, available in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and federal work-study. Students are encouraged to contact this office to utilize the information and financial counseling services available.
Procedure for Applying:
Returning students must submit:
• Renewal Application for FAFSA and the University’s Supplemental Form by April 1.
• All forms can be obtained in the Office of Financial Assistance. Determination of a student’s eligibility for aid will be provided once all of the above forms are successfully completed and on file with the Office of Financial Assistance.
Please keep in mind the following
• Students must be in good standing and maintain satisfactory academic progress according to University policy.
• Any change in status (such as moving from full- to part-time) may change your award package.
• Any change in housing status (such as changing from resident to commuter or vice versa) may impact your award package.
• Withdrawals from Drew must be made officially through the Dean of Educational Affairs.
