Student Financial Services
WELCOME to the Student Financial Services Office. The Student Financial Services Office combines the functions of the traditional Financial Aid Office and Students Accounts Office. Financial assistance at Guilford College is based on need or exceptional academic or other merit achievement. The college makes every effort to ensure that every qualified student will have an opportunity to attend, regardless of financial circumstances. Students demonstrating eligibility receive a package of assistance composed of scholarships and grants, and/or loans and work. We are eager to get to know you and to be of service to you as you undertake this challenging and rewarding enterprise.
Through federal, state and institutional financial aid programs, as well as a monthly payment plan option, we try to help families manage the cost of a quality education at Guilford College.
****IMPORTANT****
Per the state of North Carolina, the NC Legislative Tuition Grant has been reduced for the upcoming Spring 2010 semester. The semester awarded amount to full-time students will now be $896 and $672 for students attending three-quarter time. Guilford College will communicate with parents on how to address any balances due that result from these changes.
Student Financial Services Mission Statement
The purpose of the financial aid program at Guilford College is inextricably meshed with the purpose of the college. It is designed to remove the financial barriers to education for those who are unable to meet college expenses and to assist each student in every way possible to acquire the knowledge, the sensitivity, and the understanding to become a more competent, productive and contributing citizen.
