"Last year, as a parent of a first-year college student, I was completely overwhelmed! I cannot begin to express how wonderful the staff at the Butler University Office of Financial Aid was in helping me through this process!  They were very patient and courteous with me regarding my never-ending questions and/or concerns about scholarships, grants, government loans, private loans, etc. The compassion they conveyed to me, not only as a new parent last year, but also as a returning parent this year, has been amazing and, quite honestly, an absolute Godsend!"

"When our daughter Angelina applied for admission to Butler University, we had a lot of e-mail and telephone contact with the Office of Financial Aid. All the staff members we talked to were very professional, courteous and dedicated. They were prompt in responding to any questions and concerns we had. Special thanks also go to Ms. Leslie Middleton in the Office of Financial Aid. She had the most patience answering any questions we had, explaining how the whole process worked, and following up to make sure things were done. Her professionalism and dedication best represent Butler University."

"I thought paying for college by myself would be impossible, but the Office of Financial Aid gave me the tools and guidance to achieve my dream to attend Butler. Jacque Mickel made a consistent effort to build a personal relationship with my family and me, and her office was always an open door. In the middle of my sophomore year of college, I didn't know how I was going to afford yet another year at Butler. But when I went to Jacque, and explained my unique situation to her, I immediately felt as if she took me under her wing. I knew that I was not alone because Jacque was fighting for me too. My opportunity to learn and thrive at one of the most prestigious universities in the Midwest is greatly owed to the Office of Financial Aid and I am thankful every day."

"Butler University is so blessed to have the Financial Aid Department they do. I have had so many questions about financial aid before my son started and during the time he has been here. I have either called or sent e-mails and my questions are always answered quickly and professionally. If they have to look into something they always get back to me and most of the time it is the same day. I have sent an e-mail in the evening after hours and received a response that same night acknowledging my question with an answer to follow the next morning. Butler has an excellent Financial Aid Department!"

"When Hunter was offered a position with the football team, he knew Butler was his #1 choice. The football program assigned Kristine Butz, with the Financial Aid office to us early on to help us understand the financial implications of a Butler education. Kristine made us feel welcomed and at home at Butler, while guiding us personally through every step of the process. We chose Butler for it's reputation, but felt overwhelmed with the financial impact and processes, associated costs, scholarships and financial aid. Kristine assisted us with clear explanations and recommendations and was readily available when we had questions."

"Michael was really impressed with the Recording Industry Studies program at Butler, but we had some questions about financing his education. We visited the campus and stopped by the Financial Aid office. A staff member (Leslie Middleton) met with us and reviewed Michael's information. I can't say enough about the personal attention we received and how much we learned from the visit!  I would highly recommend a visit to the office for any prospective student."

"The Financial Aid Staff at Butler University are exceptional! Each of the last 3 years, the staff has helped me navigate the complexities of the financial aid and student/parent loan process and they make it "so easy". Whenever I had a question or a concern I was able to call and speak to a knowledgeable staff member and get the information or situation resolved immediately. And even when I sent in the wrong paperwork, they were gracious and helpful! Truly this team is about helping families and their students have a great experience at Butler. Thank you for being such a great resource to our family."

"Our Butler Financial Aid experience was one that enabled our daughter to attend 4 years at Butler University and be comfortable enough to know her job was to learn without worrying about huge loans after graduation. The staff was patient and knowledgeable and replied to emails and phone calls promptly. The staff was considerate to our special circumstances when reviewing our daughter's financial needs."

"During the process of choosing a university we have encountered numerous staff and students of the university. All of which were very helpful, gracious and respectful. However, one person stood out above the rest during this process and that person is Jacque Mickel. From our initial interview on the weekend of the big snow storm to registration. She even recognized us walking on campus one Friday afternoon and took time away from her family to chat with us. She was always respectful and never talked down to us. She listened and heard what we had to say and provided answers to all of our questions. Never did I wait more than a few hours for a response to an email.

She was always pleasant and easy to talk with while making you feel that your concerns were just as important to her as they were to you. She is one of the main reasons I am proud to say my son is attending Butler. I greatly appreciate her assistance and look forward to the next four years and developing a friendship with her and the rest of staff at Butler."

"The Butler University Office of Financial Aid was very helpful to me and my family. I was able to develop a solid relationship with one Financial Aid Representative in particular and she had an answer for all of my financial aid questions. She worked very hard for me and made a strenuous process seem easy. She was very flexible and she made it very convenient for me to meet with her. I truly appreciated that during my time here."
