Financial Aid is available to those who qualify.

Rochester College is committed to helping you obtain all the aid for which you are eligible. To receive the maximum amount of available aid, you should follow the steps below as early as possible:

  1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to include Rochester College’s Federal school code 002288 in step six of the FAFSA.
  2. After your FAFSA has been processed, the government will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR) via email (or mail if you did not provide an email address). Read it carefully. If everything is correct, retain the SAR for your records. If there are any corrections that need to be made, please make them online at www.fafsa.ed.gov under “Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA” link. In order to make corrections, you will need your Federal Pin number.
  3. The Student Financial Services Office of Rochester College will email you an Intent to Register form and any other necessary forms once the FAFSA form has been received. You will need to submit the completed Intent to Register form and other requested forms. Once the college receives these forms, we will email you an award letter, listing all grants, federal aid, and loans for which you qualify. Review this carefully. Initial, where indicated, the awards you wish to accept or decline and return it to the Student Financial Services Office
  4. Please note that award letters are valid only for the current school year. A renewal FAFSA application must be completed for subsequent years.

If you have any questions, please contact Student Financial Services at (800) 521-6010 (option #2) or email at fa@rc.edu
