The Office of Student Financial Services is your partner in understanding the cost and value of a Simmons education. Choosing a college is one of the most important investments you'll make, and we're committed to helping students and families understand their options, maximize available financial aid, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Every family's financial situation is unique. That's why we work closely with you to build a financial aid package, explore financing options, and identify resources that help make a Simmons education as affordable as possible.

Whether you're estimating costs, filing the FAFSA, understanding your financial aid offer, exploring loan options, or setting up a payment plan, our team is here to provide clear guidance, personalized support, and the information you need every step of the way.
