Both merit and need-based scholarships are available to new and continuing full-time students enrolled in a qualifying degree program. Over 90% of Union students receive some form of financial assistance, with the average award covering 85% of tuition or more. Please refer to your Funding Letter for more information about your award.

To be considered for financial aid, you will be required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or via the myStudentAid app on IOS or Android. Please use G02890 as your school code.

FAFSA will undergo significant changes starting in the 2024-2025 school year due to the FAFSA Simplification Act passed in 2020. The changes will affect the application form, need analysis, terminology, policies, and procedures for schools participating in federal student aid programs.
