"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."

"For four years, the Butler University Office of Financial Aid staff has guided me through FAFSA forms, loans, grants and scholarships in a courteous, informative and expedient manner. One time, I was having so much trouble with another institution's Financial Aid Office so I called Butler's office out of desperation. As always, Butler was the top dawg and gave me the assistance I needed! I truly appreciate all that was done to help my daughter, professionally and personally, throughout her collegiate career."

"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!"

Major: Political Science
Hometown: Newburgh, IN

"When Hunter was offered a position with the football team, he knew Butler was his #1 choice. The football program worked with Financial Aid early on to help us understand the financial implications of a Butler education. They 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. The Office of Financial Aid 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."

"As my first child prepared to attend Butler University, I admit I was paralyzed with fear about the financial obligations. Scholarships, grants and student loans were areas I had no experience in dealing with. Butler University's Office of Financial Aid made everything easy to understand and removed my fear. They are friendly, knowledgeable, understanding, compassionate and very easy to contact. I trust them whole-heartedly with my money and my son! Butler University's Office of Financial Aid is AWESOME!"

Hometown: Lansing, MI

"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."

"With Brooke and her sister both in college this year, the financial aid process can be overwhelming at times. Our specific situation was unique this year and became very complicated. The Butler Office of Financial Aid, and specifically Jacque Mickel, went above and beyond in helping understand and complete our personal financial aid program. Having now dealt with two different university financial aid departments, I can personally attest to the fact that the financial aid department at Butler is superior in all ways. They are absolutely the most professional and courteous dedicated staff to deal with, finding every opportunity to personalize and maximize our financial aid!"
