Grants and scholarships are “gift aid” — meaning the money does not have to be repaid. Some programs may require you to serve a specified term. Others may be monies you receive from institutional, federal, state or private sources.

One option to finance your UNE education is to determine a manageable monthly amount that you can afford to pay and to contact Sallie Mae to set up an interest-free Tuition Payment Plan.
