What is Financial Aid?

The goal of our office is to assist students who have difficulty paying the costs incurred while attending college. The aid provided by UNO is intended to supplement, not replace family resources. The primary source of funding rests with both Federal and State government; therefore, government regulations determine a student's eligibility and awards.

 TOPS Awards:

If you are eligible for TOPS and the award does not appear on WebStar or on your FEE Bill, then it is possible that we are waiting on confirmation of your eligibility from the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA).  The Office of Student Financial Aid receives updated eligibility rosters from LOSFA on a weekly basis.  Please continue to view WebStar weekly to confirm your award status.

There are different types of aid available. Please click on the following links to get more information about that type of aid:
