The Alfred University financial aid team meets you with compassion and clarity. We’ll help you map out scholarships, grants, work, and smart financing so you can focus on exploring your chosen academic path with confidence.
The potential methods of receiving financial support include:
For almost every type of financial aid, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the place to start. Filling out the application opens up access to federal and state education assistance resources. When filing, be sure to use the Alfred University FAFSA code: 002668.
They include:
You can explore a wide variety of opportunities with grants and scholarships tied to academic achievement, artistic talent, leadership, service, financial need, and more.
You can offset educational expenses and build your resume with federal work-study (need-based) jobs. Many students work a few hours each week in roles that align with their interests and schedules.
When you need to bridge the gap, we’ll help you borrow wisely. Learn about federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans, as well as financing, and get guidance on right-sizing what you borrow.
Beyond scholarships and grants, you can receive financial support based on specific skills or qualifications you possess, such as past or current military service, legacy status, or your place of residence.
