The Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS) offers helpful information and links on applying for financial aid at Emmanuel College.
To apply for need-based financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and select the Federal School Code for Emmanuel: 002147.
Please note the following:
1. The priority filing date for the 2021-2022 academic year is February 15, 2021 and the FAFSA will require 2019 income information.
2. To complete the FAFSA online, both the student and parent(s) need an FSA ID to access and electronically sign the FAFSA. To obtain an FSA ID please visit fsaid.ed.gov.
3. To ensure the accuracy of income information and to prevent delays in processing, we encourage applicants to use the Data Retrieval Tool on the FAFSA to import tax information directly from the IRS into the FAFSA.
4. If you have had significant financial changes since 2019, complete the FAFSA as instructed (provide 2019 income information) and contact our office to discuss the changes in more detail.
5. Emmanuel does not require the CSS/Financial Aid Profile. Should additional information be required to determine a student's financial aid eligibility, the student will be notified by the Office of Student Financial Services.
Emmanuel College Endowed and Restricted scholarships are funded by alumni and friends of the College based on criteria established by the donor. Most endowed scholarships are reserved for continuing students; however, all incoming students are reviewed for endowed scholarship eligibility upon receipt of their financial aid application (FAFSA) and do not need to submit an Endowed Scholarsip application.
