No, financial aid is not given out based on your intended major. Remember, many people change their major, so it would be silly to give financial aid on that basis as then many students could lose their financial aid.

Additionally, biology and say, psychology, are both within the College of Arts Sciences. The College is the one who controls the money, not the departments. Each student competes against every other student for financial aid, regardless of their intended major.
