Financial Aid

Welcome Seahawks

Counselors

In order to provide better and more personalized service, students, both active and prospective, should use the following listing to identify their financial aid counselor. For both undergraduate and graduate students, each alphabetical grouping, e.g., B-C, represents students with last names beginning with those letters. Veteran Students (i.e., those active or prospective students entitled to veterans educational benefits), Student Athletes on athletic aid, and OAP (On-line Accelerated Program) students are not included in the alphabetical groupings and are considered three individual groups. These three groups have their own counselor(s).

Below, you can find your financial aid counselor by student last name or special grouping. You may hover over your counselor’s name to obtain their email address and submit any questions that you have or to schedule a time for an in-person meeting, phone conversation or virtual meeting via Zoom.

If you prefer to meet with a Financial Aid Counselor via our virtual option, once you click our link below, you will be initally placed into our office Zoom Waiting Room. Meetings will be set to 15 minutes max to allow us to see as many students as possible. If the wait is too long, we encourage you to call us at 910.962.3177 to see if you can be assisted that way or email your counselor with your inquiry. In addition to the Zoom Room option, we also have a Live Counselor Chat option available. Both features are available Monday - Thursday 9 a.m to 4 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
