Overview

Mount Saint Mary College's Office of Financial Aid is part of Student Financial Services (SFS) along with the Student Accounts Office. We are located in Guzman Hall, 2nd Floor. Our office provides assistance in helping students access funding in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment from a variety of sources including Federal, New York State, private and institutional.

No student will be barred from consideration due to race, gender, creed, age or disability. All U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens will be considered for financial aid if they file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you file your FAFSA late in the semester, please contact the SFS office as your aid package may have to be processed manually. Students or returning students who are in default of a federal loan, owe a repayment on any federal funds, or have discharged a previous Federal student loan in bankruptcy, are ineligible for financial aid from any source until the default or repayment is resolved.

Important Notice: Changes That Affect Your Financial Aid

Your financial aid is directly tied to your enrollment. Under new federal regulation, any change in your program, major, minor, number of credits, or enrollment status may affect your eligibility.

Before you withdraw, drop a class, change your major, minor, switch programs, or request a medical leave, you MUST meet with Student Financial Services first. Acting without consulting Student Financial Services could result in the reduction, cancellation, or repayment of your aid.
