The Financial Aid Process

The Office of Student Financial Services at the University of Bridgeport is committed to helping students navigate and understand the financial aid process and identify financial tools to help make a college education affordable. Paying for college is a partnership, and this partnership includes your family, the government, and the University of Bridgeport.


The University offers you many different forms of financial aid to ease the financial burden that the cost of your education may pose. 98% of our first time, full-time undergraduate receives financial aid and 96% of all UB students are awarded financial aid.  We participate in a variety of federal, state, and private programs that offer loans, grants, scholarships, and other awards to students who demonstrate financial need, superior academic achievement, or other circumstances that may impact their ability to seek an education at University of Bridgeport.
