Financial Aid and Scholarships
Don’t let cost stand in the way of your education and career goals. At CSM, our Financial Aid Department can help you find assistance, including grants and scholarships, guide you through the application process, and support you as you work toward your degree, diploma, or certificate.
All credit students must complete the FAFSA each year to be considered for federal student aid. Even if you don't think you'll qualify, you should apply.
