Student Financial Services
WELCOME to the Student Financial Services Office. The Student Financial Services Office is made up of the Financial Aid Office and the Students Accounts office. The two offices merged to better communicate with the student and parent about the costs that are occurred with a Guilford College education and to find a way to help meet those costs. 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 familes manage the cost of a quality education at Guilford College.
