Financial Aid

Applying for financial aid may seem like a long or difficult process, but it’s not as hard as you may think. The PSC Financial Aid Office is here to help you through the process. Just call, email, or stop by to talk to a PSC Financial Aid Counselor and we can help you through the process.

All financial aid processes at Paul Smith’s College are tracked through the PSC Financial Aid Student Portal. You will access your Paul Smith’s Financial Aid Portal by using your Student ID (ex: P000012345) and Password. Your Student ID will be mailed or emailed to you by the Admissions Office and will be on the award offer emailed by the Financial Aid Office. Your password is unique to the Financial Aid Portal and is not synced with other PSC portals. Please keep your password in a safe place and do not share it with others. The PSC Financial Aid Student Portal will allow you to:

• Check the status of your financial aid application
• View outstanding documents needed to finalize your financial aid
• See missing documents
• View your current financial aid offer
• Accept or decline your offered aid
• View important messages about your awards
• Check the status of your student loans for the current year
• Review your loan history

If your parents are involved in your financial aid process, we encourage you to share the information in your portal with them. Only students are assigned Student IDs and Passwords for this system. Parents should not have access to your Financial Aid Student ID or Password. Although you may receive periodic emails from our office regarding missing paperwork and/or updates to your financial aid, your portal is our official communication channel with you. It will be very important for you to monitor your portal and your email to stay up-to-date on your financial aid.
