How are fee levels determined?
Hilltop fee levels are determined on a sliding scale based on monthly gross income and number of family members. Families will submit an Enrollment Start Date and Fee Level Questionnaire form prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Other "A" level families may qualify for additional financial assistance. View the Hilltop Fee Schedules below for more information about fees.

Grants are based on financial need and generally do not need to be repaid. Grant amounts may differ from year to year for each grant program and the total amount of grant aid awarded rarely covers a student's total cost of attendance. Learn More.
