Contact Us & Find Your Financial Aid Counselor

If you have any questions, please contact us via phone or email or use our online scheduler to schedule an appointment with a financial aid counselor.

The Office of Financial Aid continues to strongly encourage virtual appointments. Appointments can be scheduled using our online appointment scheduler below. For immediate assistance with questions/concerns, please use our Live Chat feature. We can also be reached via phone or email during our regular business hours. If an in-person meeting is necessary, all participants of the meeting will be required to wear a mask.

Please note that there will be a delay in processing documents that are sent in via standard mail which may hold up the processing of your financial aid application. During this time, we strongly encourage you to submit any requested documents electronically using our LUFileSender tool.
