Graduate Student Aid

In Financial Aid, we focus on counseling graduate and professional students as they navigate their choices on how to best finance their education. We speak with students about funding, including Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans and, if needed, Graduate PLUS loans.

The Office of Financial Aid processes all federal and private student loans. In addition, we work closely with the Coordinator of Graduate Assistantships to determine student eligibility for Graduate Assistantship positions, which help reduce tuition costs by providing tuition credit and a monthly stipend.

The Office of Financial Aid works to ensure that graduate students understand the financial aid process before, during and after graduation. We are always available to meet with students to help determine the best options for their needs, review their outstanding loan debt and explain the different repayment options so they can become responsible borrowers.

Our mission is to ensure that Russell Sage College graduate students understand the financial aid process when they are in school and are aware of their responsibilities as a loan borrower when they become alumni or leave the college.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available October 1 of each year. Students that will be attending during the Summer 2022, Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 semester should file the 2022-2023 FAFSA. The school code for Russell Sage College is 002810.
