Student Financial Services

Greensboro College is committed to assisting students and their families secure the resources necessary to attend the College through the use of institutional, federal and state funding awarded in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and employment. At Greensboro College, we believe that a quality education is one of the most important investments in your future you can make. Financial aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated need as a result of filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and through a competitive scholarship program that recognizes the student's academic achievements and talents.

The application process for financial aid can sometimes be confusing and even frustrating, but hopefully our application materials will make the process as simple as possible. We urge you to use these guidelines to be sure you submit everything required in a timely fashion to avoid unnecessary delays in processing your application. Please note that we cannot offer you an estimate of financial aid eligibility until you have been accepted for admission, and your file for financial aid is complete and has been reviewed.
