SCAM ALERT

The Financial Aid Offices has recently received reports from concerned students and families relating to a direct marketing mailing from College Financial Advisory (CFA). The mailing is addressed to “Name of Christopher Newport University Student” or “Parents of (student name)”.  This organization is suggesting that you complete their enclosed Student Aid Profile Form to apply for additional available funding and return it to them with your check in the amount of $48.00, and that your financial aid at CNU is "pending'.

CNU is NOT affiliated with College Financial Advisory.  We urge students and families to be wary of scholarship search opportunities that charge a fee or guarantee scholarships.

This form is NOT required by CNU.
