Will financial aid cover the costs should a fee increase be approved?

When fees increase, this results in an increase in the budget estimated for students receiving financial aid.  The state increases the State University Grant (SUG) proportionate to fees which means that students who receive SUG may see an increase equal to their fee increase.  Student who are not on aid and students who do not receive SUG may be considered for additional loan funds.   The Office of Financial Aid will communicate any changes in aid awards should a fee increase occur.
