Campus-Based Financial Aid

Towson University receives a limited amount of money each year for the campus-based aid programs. The Financial Aid Office awards these funds toward eligible students with high financial need who completed the FAFSA application process by TU’s Priority Deadline. 

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

TU receives limited federal SEOG funds each year and may offer these grants to full-time first-time bachelor’s degree candidates with exceptionally high financial need. Awards typically go to students with Student Aid Index (SAI) values between -$1,500 and $0.

Institutional Grant

TU may offer the Institutional Grant to full-time first-time bachelor’s degree candidates with high financial need.

Federal Work Study

This need-based federal aid program allows eligible students to work and earn money for educational expenses. Since the earned funds are paid to students through bi-weekly paychecks, these funds cannot be applied toward tuition and fees or other charges that are due at the beginning of the term.

Federal Work Study jobs are available on-campus in academic and administrative departments as well as at local elementary or middle schools in approved community service programs designed to help children develop reading and math skills.
