Investing in Your Future
College is an investment in you. Student Financial Services works with students and their families to explain tuition, payment plans, loans, and scholarships.
Remember that no matter what college you choose, you should base your decision on value—the combination of cost, aid, scholarships, and expected return on your educational investment. Don't sacrifice your dreams, career and earning potential, and satisfaction in life by choosing a college based on cost alone. It's your future, and you're worth it.

Scholarships
We believe that your exceptional talents and promise should be rewarded. So while we offer a wide range of need-based options for your financial aid, we also offer merit-based awards, which are determined without regard to your financial circumstances, range from $2,000 to full tuition, do not need to be repaid, and most of which are renewable for four years. They are based on a student's academic achievement, leadership, and other talents.

Financial Aid
Academic excellence and financial need are used to determine each student's financial-aid package. Simmons offers scholarships, loans, grants, and work-study to help families finance a college education.
Applying for financial aid is easy. Just submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov and a Simmons Student Information Form. There is no need to submit a CSS/PROFILE to apply for aid from Simmons. Federal income tax returns will be requested if you are chosen for verification.
