Funding

Rutgers uses your FAFSA to develop a financial-aid package based on your qualifications, financial need and the funds available to the university. Your package may include any or a combination of these major financial aid sources:

• Gift aid does not require repayment and is divided into three categories: grants (which recognize financial need) and scholarships and awards (which recognize academic merit, special talents, or other achievements).
• Loans must be repaid (usually after graduation) and can come from private lenders as well as federal, state and university sources.
• Work-study allows students to earn money for college expenses while gaining valuable skills - often in their intended field.

Accreditation

The degree awarded upon completion of any of these options is the B.S. in mechanical engineering which is professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
