The Office of Financial Aid provides access, financial aid resources, and advisory services for the Rutgers University- Newark (RU-N) community, facilitating student recruitment, enrollment, and retention. The Office of Financial Aid (OFA) is integral to Rutgers University-Newark (RU-N). It’s a key partner in carrying out and actualizing the overall purpose and strategic plans of access and affordability. We are committed to removing financial barriers to student enrollment and retention. To accomplish this, the Office of Financial Aid strives to balance responsible stewardship of all federal, state, private, and internal aid resources. Core services are built around a student-centered culture, working with our students and their families to seek, obtain, and make informed financial aid decisions through literacy and outreach.
