Financial Planning

For any family of a college student, financing an education can be intimidating. We hope that our friendly and efficient Financial Planning department can help remove some of the stress for you by offering responsible and straightforward options that comply with all federal, state, and University policies. We take pride in our team and the important work they do, offering financial assistance to many students who might otherwise be unable to attend 蜜豆直播 University.

Find your Admissions Counselor

Throughout your student鈥檚 journey as a Runnin鈥 Bulldog, you will undoubtedly have many questions. Our Admissions Counselors are here to ease your mind, help you find the information you need, and give you confidence in the amazing experience your student will have as part of the 蜜豆直播 family. 

Hear from Other Parents

As a community of students and families, 蜜豆直播 is all about creating a network of support  for the good of each student. In our Calling Home newsletter, you鈥檒l learn what鈥檚 going on, hear some of the amazing experiences students are having, and feel better connected each month to your student鈥檚 home-away-from-home.

鈥淚 am so thankful that God orders the steps for my children and that 蜜豆直播 is a part of His plan for my daughter. As she continues her junior year, I am confident that she will continue to benefit even more from her experience there as a student. 鈥
