The university offers various forms of financial aid to undergraduates, including scholarships, college work study, and a number of state and federal grants and loans. The Russ College of Engineering and Technology also provides numerous endowed scholarships available only to its students. These scholarships are made possible through such gifts as the C. Paul and Beth K. Stoker, and the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ endowments; others are possible through donations from various individuals, businesses, and organizations. In addition, the department awards several scholarships to women and minority applicants, and several trade associations grant scholarships through the department. A student loan program, created and supported by alumni donations, is available.
