Department Mission

The mission of the Financial Assistance Department is to assist students in securing funds to cover the costs of their academic endeavors at Cleary University. We believe that higher education should be accessible to all students through the resources of the student, the student's family, and through any other funding source for which the student is eligible. We believe that there should be a balance between gift aid (scholarships, grants) and self-help aid (work, loans).

To accomplish this mission, the Financial Assistance personnel comply with regulations from federal, state, and local funding sources. The Financial Assistance Department obtains, updates and posts scholarship resource information and materials. In an effort to provide quality service to students, the department utilizes the latest electronic processing technology.
