Financing Your Education
Russell Sage College takes the guesswork out of affording your college education. We’re here to support you and can even offer one-on-one financial aid counseling sessions focused on your specific needs. Every student who meets eligibility requirements can receive some type of financial aid, regardless of income.
Beginning October 1, submit your 2021-2022 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using 2019 income information to apply for federal financial aid like work-study, grants, and loans. Use the Russell Sage College Federal School Code 002810 and sign it using your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.
Applying for Financial Aid
First-Year Undergraduate
As an accepted first-time, full-time freshman, you’re guaranteed $60,000 in scholarships over four years. And you may be eligible to receive additional aid based on academic achievement or financial need.
Transfer
All full-time transfer students receive scholarships of $15,000 to $17,000 annually for up to three years. Additional aid is available if you qualify based on academic achievement or financial need.
