The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid on the second floor of Bruce Hall processes all loans for University students. Loan applications are available in the Law School and Bruce Hall. In addition, applications for the Owens Fellowship are available at both locations.
This highly competitive fellowship provides $2,000 for students who demonstrate financial need and high academic achievement. Awards are from a bequest of Samuel T. Owens, Jr. The deadline for this application is May 1.
