Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid
A college education is one of the most important investments anyone can make. Schoolcraft College understands that students often need help to finance their education. Financial aid programs can provide students with options that may assist them in meeting educational expenses and achieving their educational goals.
To apply for federal, state, and institutional financial aid, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing the FAFSA is free, easy to complete, and gives you access to the largest sources of financial aid to pay for college. Be sure to include the Schoolcraft College School Code of 002315 so we get your information.
Scholarships are a great way to help pay for college. Schoolcraft College has both merit-based scholarships and need-based scholarships. Some scholarship applications require that the student has also completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.)
Complete your scholarship application profile and apply for scholarships today.
Direct Loans for Schoolcraft College students are processed by the Department of Education.
Students must fill out a FAFSA, complete the Verification Process and submit a loan request to the Office of Financial Aid. Student loans are not automatically awarded with your initial award letter.
How will I be notified?
The Office of Financial Aid will notify you thru your Schoolcraft College email address regarding your application status. You can review your application status and receive your award letter from the Financial Aid menu on WebAdvisor.
