Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will determine your eligibility for these programs.
The University of Charleston also offers institutional aid in the form of military discounts for certain degree programs/courses and institutional scholarships for full-time in-seat programs on our Charleston campus.
