We're not going to tell you that applying for financial aid is the easiest or most enjoyable thing you'll ever do. The application process requires a little time and a reasonable amount of conscientious attention to detail. Because financial aid helps make college more affordable, the effort is worthwhile. If you proceed methodically, take things one step at a time, and ask for help when you need it, you'll discover that applying for financial aid need not be an ordeal.
Aid is offered from federal, state, institutional and private programs.
We recommend applications be submitted between January 1st and March 1st. There may be additional applications to complete, or follow-up documentation needed for review, so read your mail thoroughly, respond to requests for information promptly, and contact us if any questions arise. The Plattsburgh State University Financial Aid Office is located on the fourth floor of the Kehoe Administration Building, Suite 401-410.
