Undergraduate Aid

The Costs of a College Education Include More than Just Tuition

When creating a financial aid package for a student, the Student Financial Services Office first looks at the student’s budget for the academic year. A budget consists of tuition, housing and food, books and supplies, estimated transportation and estimated personal expenses.

    Applying for Financial Aid

    U.S. citizens and permanent residents:

    • First, apply for admission to Goshen College. Students must be admitted to the college before a financial aid offer is made.
    • Create an FSA ID and password online at fsaid.ed.gov to serve as your electronic signature.
    • Beginning October 1, the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA) is available for free to complete at fafsa.gov (using prior year taxes). We encourage all families to file regardless of income. Students should specify 001799 as the code number for Goshen College. Apply now: www.fafsa.gov
    • After you’ve been accepted for admission and we have received your FAFSA along with any other documentation that has been requested, we will send you a paper copy of your Financial Aid Notification describing the aid you are eligible to receive.
    • You will receive one paper copy of your Financial Aid Notification. Any revisions to your Financial Aid Notification will be sent via email with instructions for viewing the award online.
    • Please review the Financial Aid Notification promptly and notify the Student Financial Aid Office in writing of any changes to your award, which includes lowering the amount of loans that you were offered or canceling the loans altogether.
    File the FAFSA

    The college’s priority deadline for filing your FAFSA is March 1.

    To be eligible for Indiana State Aid, the FAFSA must be completed by April 15 (Indiana residents only).

    Tuition Payments

    We know that paying for a college education requires some level of sacrifice and planning. With this in mind, we offer several options that we believe will be beneficial to cover this financial gap. Besides financial aid and loans, Goshen College offers an online tuition payment system.

    Feel free to contact the Student Financial Services Office for assistance.
