Affordability Made Simple at UMO

At the University of Mount Olive, we know that investing in your future is a big decision. The good news? You don’t have to figure out the finances alone. We’re here to help you discover opportunities that can make your UMO education affordable.

Smart Ways to Save on Your Education

Financial Aid & Grants

Discover your financial aid options

Navigating the cost of college can feel complex, but financial aid options are available to support your journey. As an online student at UMO, your first step to securing financial support is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This determines your eligibility for federal grants, such as the Pell Grant, and other forms of need-based aid. Be sure to explore all your options to make your education more affordable. Include UMO’s school code (002949) to ensure your information is sent directly to us.

Tip: Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible. Funds are limited and awarded on a first come, first served basis.

Loans

Borrow smart, plan ahead

Loans can help cover educational costs without feeling overwhelming. With the right plan, you can borrow responsibly and stay on track. Options include Federal Student Loans with flexible repayment and Private Loans that require careful comparison. UMO’s financial aid team will guide you through budgeting, repayment resources, and the best options for your needs.

Tip: Borrow only what you need now, so future you has room to breathe.

Military Tuition Assistance

Let your service help fund your education
Tuition Assistance (TA) is a military program that provides financial assistance to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force for their education. It’s a valuable benefit that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs, letting you focus more on reaching your degree and less on tuition.
Tip: Each branch handles Tuition Assistance differently. Contact your Education Service Officer (ESO) or Education Counselor before enrolling to confirm your eligibility and your branch’s process for submitting TA forms.

Veteran Affairs Benefits

Learn your options for veterans’ savings

The University of Mount Olive proudly supports veterans, active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members, and eligible dependents in pursuing their educational goals. We also recognize prior learning through military training and experience, offer CLEP and DSST testing for academic credit, and provide flexible transfer credit evaluations.

Tip: Reach out to UMO’s VA certifying official early in your enrollment process to make sure your benefits are applied correctly and without delay.
