One of our favorite parts of the year? Meeting future Highlanders at Quest! ❤️

Financial aid can feel overwhelming, but that's why we're here. We love helping Highlanders understand their options and feel confident about paying for college!

The Radford Tuition Promise = amazing help toward tuition ❤️💙
But let’s bust a common myth real quick 👀

The Radford Tuition Promise covers tuition for eligible students — not your full student account balance. Things like fees, housing, meal plans, and books may still create a balance depending on your situation.

Questions? Reach out to us so we can help you understand your aid!

Thinking about withdrawing from a class? Before making changes to your schedule, it’s important to understand how it could impact your financial aid.

Withdrawals may affect:
✔️ Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
✔️ Scholarship or grant renewal requirements
✔️ Future financial aid eligibility

Every student’s situation is different, so we encourage you to contact our office before withdrawing so you understand any potential impacts.
