Although correspondence regarding financial aid is sent directly to students, we realize that parents are highly involved in their students' lives, especially regarding college finances.  To help parents find the information they need, we've listed links to the web pages we think parents will find most useful.

How does my student apply for financial aid?

How can I get information about my student’s financial aid?

What about loans for parents?

How does my student’s financial aid help with our bill?  

What about refunds?

What if my student drops a class or withdraws from the university?

My student didn’t do very well in classes.  Will this affect financial aid?

Tidbits parents should know

*  All communication from the Financial Aid Office is sent directly to the student. 

• New students should check the Catamount Gateway for any required documentation and award information.
• Currently enrolled and returning students are responsible for checking Catamount email for correspondance. You may also view your financial aid requirements and award information in My Cat at any time.

When your financial aid file is complete, a financial aid award will be made.
