I would like to purchase a computer. Is there any way I can get money from the Office of Financial Aid to cover this?
Students are encouraged to explore all options for funding the purchase of a computer, including departmental or private scholarships. If this is not possible, the Office of Financial Aid allows students to borrow (usually through a private lender) for the purchase of a computer. Students may borrow for this expense only once during their time at the university. Documentation (receipt or written estimate) of the purchase is required.
Some laptop distribution programs are currently providing laptops to undergraduate students. If you qualify for one of these programs you cannot also borrow for the cost of a computer.
