Financial Aid
The New York higher education community provides statewide support to students and families on “how to apply” and “how to pay for college”. Students and parents should explore all financial aid options. There are many sources of financial aid assistance available to help cover the costs of a college education.
New York’s “College Financial Aid Awareness Network” is a cooperative project of the New York State Financial Aid Administrator’s Association (NYSFAAA) and the New York Higher Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC).
