Welcome to Saint Peter's College electronic financial aid office! Whether you're beginning the financial aid process, renewing your aid eligibility, or simply want loan counseling, we're here to help answer any questions you might have. Paying for college involves coordination of the resources available from students, their families, the College, and federal and state assistance programs. With your cooperation, we are committed to making Saint Peter’s College an affordable option for you.
Financial Aid may at times seem complicated. Several steps must be taken to apply for assistance. Furthermore, for certain federal and state programs, students may be asked to provide additional documentation to verify eligibility for certain types of aid. We ask students and their families to carefully read all requested information, to reply to all requests in a timely manner, and to adhere to all deadlines in order to make the financial aid process run smoothly.
