Welcome Panther Parents!

Whether you're sending your first or your fifth child off to college, the financial aid process can create anxiety or confusion. The UNI Financial Aid Office is here to help. We have created a page for you to address some of the areas in which parents most commonly ask questions. In addition we have provided links to online financial aid resources to provide information on the overall financial aid process.

Remember, with your student now being a college student we are limited in the amount of information we can give out concerning specifics about their financial aid.
