Overview

Get the facts! TU is more affordable than you think.

Student financial aid is offered to assist in making higher education a reality for those who would be unable to attend college without financial assistance. At least 87 percent of Thomas University’s students receive some form of financial aid.

To be eligible for financial aid, students must be accepted for enrollment at Thomas University, maintain satisfactory academic progress, and comply with the 67% completion rule (student must receive a passing grade in at least 67% of the academic coursework attempted during an academic year).

Required financial aid information must be completed and on file each academic year before aid is awarded. All applications for financial aid should be completed as early as possible prior to the semester you plan to attend.
