Dear Colleagues, Alumni, Students, and Campus Community,
Mission Statement The Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships provides access to student aid programs and advising services for the campus community to facilitate the student recruitment, enrollment, and retention efforts at Prairie View A&M University. We are committed to providing a high level of customer service to support our diverse population of students in achieving their academic goals by helping to remove the financial barriers to college attendance. We continue to establish ourselves as a leader when measured against peer institutions by utilizing technology to efficiently streamline the delivery of financial aid. We seek to model campus-wide communication and collaboration while respecting the needs, values, and diversity of our students, parents, and colleagues. ____________________________________
As a result of the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years were very “different” and unlike any other, reshaping how we service our students and families. With the many challenges we experienced, we’ve managed to stay afloat and find creative ways to keep our students engaged, all while doing our best to still provide the support needed in all areas, including financially. As I have completed my first academic year as Director, I am pleased to share additional financial aid data that spans the 2021-22 academic year, which includes the fall 2021, spring 2022, and summer 2022 semesters. This data will be used to assess ongoing trends so that we are able to strategically implement ways to make continuous improvement in the areas of financial aid. The financial aid programs at PVAMU are utilize to attract and retain students through need-based financial aid, recruit academically talented students through merit-based scholarships, and support the institution’s recruitment and retention efforts. The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships currently employs 13 staff members. More than $123 million in aid was awarded to over 7,900 students. The annual report is available online at www.pvamu.edu/faid. Feel free to contact me regarding any information or details within this report. Thank you!
