Financial Aid

Click on a link to be taken to the entry below.

Endicott College will make every effort to ensure that a quality education is available to all qualified students, regardless of income level. Financial Aid officers are available to help students and their families on an individual basis with all Financial Aid and financial planning issues.

Financial assistance is available for eligible students through both Endicott and federal and state programs. These programs allow students to use gift and self-help funds to pay for their education. Approximately 81% of Endicott’s students receive some form of financial aid. The average student indebtedness upon graduation is $16,243, from federal and institutional sources. Individual student debt may be higher if private loan sources are utilized.

To qualify for financial aid, a student must be a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen, be enrolled in an approved program, and be in good academic standing. Most of the aid programs require that a student demonstrate financial need. The family contribution is determined by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial need is defined as the difference between the cost of education and the amount the student’s family can be expected to contribute.

Every applicant’s financial situation is evaluated carefully so that each financial aid award will accommodate a student’s particular needs. All students must reapply for financial aid each year and must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.

Each year the College establishes grants that help deserving students augment government and private financial assistance.

Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS Loans)
