The financial aid awarded depends on the financial need, the availability of funds at Housatonic, and any other aid the student is receiving. The financial aid package may include grants, loans, or work-study jobs in various combinations. All financial aid programs are subject to change. All applications for financial aid should be mailed to the Federal Government by May 1 for students enrolling in September and November 1 for students enrolling in January. However, applications are accepted throughout the academic year.
Financial aid is awarded to students until funds are depleted.
Housatonic's Federal Code number is 004513. The student is determined to have need if the cost of education exceeds the student's available resources, based upon a standardized formula which was established by Congress. All allowable educational expenses are considered when financial aid applications are reviewed. Student Aid Reports need not be submitted to the Financial Aid office. The Financial Aid office will download reports electronically.
