Financial Aid
Academic excellence and financial need are used to determine each student's financial-aid package. Academic merit awards range from $5,000 to full-tuition awards, renewable for four years.

You don't need to submit a CSS/PROFILE to apply for aid from Simmons. Just submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for scholarships, loans, grants, and federal work-study. Federal income tax returns will be requested if you are chosen for verification. Please see important notes about applying for aid.

For more information about financial aid, including scholarships and loan information, read about types of financial aid. To contact Student Financial Services, call 617-521-2001 or send an e-mail to sfs@simmons.edu.
