Financial aid comes from institutional, federal, state, and outside sources which may include grants, scholarships, student employment, student loans, and/or parent loans. Two different categories of aid are merit based and financial need based. Merit awards are given based on academic excellence, leadership development, and/or individual talent. Awards based on financial need are determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
The intent of this site is to introduce you to the financial aid available to Union University students. Please contact us at 800-33UNION, or at finaid@uu.edu if you have any questions. May God’s richest blessings be yours.
