Your Financial Aid Checklist and the Required Documents Tab

Your Financial Aid Checklist and the Required Documents Tab are going to be key to your financial success at Russell Sage College. The checklist, located on your home page, is where you will be able to see where you are in the financial aid process. The Required Documents tab will show you all of the information we have received from you. You won’t have to call the financial aid office anymore to ask if we have your FAFSA or if your financial aid package is available, you can find all the information you need right online. This is where the financial aid office will also indicate any missing documentation or information you need to know in order for the college to process and receive your financial aid to pay your bill. All missing forms can be accessed by clicking on the Form Number that is provided under your Complete Required Documents.

If you need further assistance, you can contact the Financial Aid office at 518-244-4525 (Troy) or 518-292-1783 (Albany) or email us through My Sage Aid using the “Contact Financial Aid Office” link.
