Financial Guidance:

Does a merit scholarship need to be repaid? Do education loans accrue interest? How do I compare aid packages? How can I afford it? College costs and financial aid paperwork can be daunting. Bay Path’s Student Financial Services offers personalized guidance so that your family won’t get overwhelmed by the price-tag or process of financing a college education.

• Join one of our financial aid webinars on topics such as repaying student loans and getting “loan forgiveness” by working in nonprofits, underserved communities, government, AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and more.
• Watch “Financial Aid TV” - these short videos answer questions such as How and when does my student apply for financial aid? and If I provide my information on the federal financial aid form (FAFSA), am I obligated to pay for my child’s education?
